Is there an easy, foolproof way to replace a word or two out of a line of text? For instance, I want to make a bunch of words that will change to something different since I am a decently slow typer.

Example:

say Hello there, could I interest you in some learning?

(will change to)

say H'lo der, could meh interest yas in some learnin'?

Is there a simple way to do this? I've tried #ONINPUT, but that didn't work for me, if someone could show me how. Thanks.

I'd probably make an alias that just repeatadly calls %replace. As a possible alternative, you could look into my translation routines... maybe the drawl or jive would be suitable for you.

If you place "" around the %-1, you no longer need to use drawl "hello", siply using drawl blahblahblah will work just the same (and is less hassle).

#ALIAS drawl {#var SOAPClient %comcreate( "MSSOAP.SOAPClient");#com @SOAPClient.mssoapinit(http://ww6.borland.com/webservices/BorlandBabel/BorlandBabel.exe/wsdl/IBorlandBabel);say @SOAPClient.BabelFish("Drawl", "%-1")}
