You got a help.
There are some characters before which the R of the replace is obligatory,
because they denote something for REDO: Delete, Insert, Help.
 
The correct REDO is
                             RH....
 
                        Hope this helps

There are 3 kinds of programming errors:  syntactical, semantical and mystical.
The programmers have to suck up the users just as much as absolutely necessary.
