Yes.  This also worked.  I mapped this function to a key and used
keyboard macros to work on the whole buffer.

This, as I can see, is the elisp code for Maragato's interactive
solution.  This one is also working perfectly well.  Since my
file had more than two thousand lines I replaced query-replace
with replace-string.

Thank you for all you help.  I sure am learning to use Emacs more
effectively.
