Here are some choices:

1) Use ZServer to give you FTP, then go into XEmacs/EFS and use its
search and replace features.  (Sweet!)

2) Take a look at Jim Fulton's "XML dump" tool that dumps the database
into an XML file.  You could then make the changes and do the import --
except that the import isn't there yet :^)

Yep, that would be nice.  Patches accepted :^)
