Thank you to all who sent options. I tried various commands, including the 'cat' command piped to 'tr'. This gave me what I asked for--though a little sloppy. I wish a word processor would make it easier to find/replace such characters--just like Word Perfect used to (I assume they still do, but I haven't used it since ver. 6)--this made reformatting a breeze and allowed me to be creative with some of my macros. Unfortunately, I do *not* see any of the current WYSIWYG linux offerings doing the same...emacs and vi(m) apparently can get the job done, but they both require more expertise than I was able to learn in the time I had.
