Replacement The edit control where the user types the characters to be assigned as the
replacement of the control character. Replacements for a control character are
assigned by selecting the appropriate character from the Character combo box,
typing the replacement in the Replacement edit control (according to the
formats defined above) and then selecting Assign. The assigned replacement is
then added to the list box above the Assign button.
List Box The list box shows all user-defined control characters and their assigned
replacements. All replacements are enclosed in single quotes to delimit white

Delete This button is grayed unless an entry in the list box is highlighted. When an
entry (or entries) is highlighted, and Delete is selected, the highlighted material
is deleted from the list box.
