The 100LX MEMO program has a Find/Replace function permitting the finding and replacing of text. It can find commas, quotation marks, periods and other keyboard-inserted characters. You can also search for double spaces and convert them to single spaces.
It would be of interest to learn whether there is a way to find and replace tabs, paragraph markers, and other characters which are part of the extended character sets. Often I import text files created in a word processor on my office PC. I sometimes forget to convert them to ASCII format and the files contain formatting characters. The ability to replace characters from the extended character set in MEMO would greatly facilitate working with these files.
