What were you looking for? I just checked and 'replace' has an entry in the dictionary. There is also a 'convert' command but that has to do with date and time.
No matter how close to English Revolution syntax is, there's the same chicken-and-egg problem as in other languages: you have to knoiw what you're looking for before you can find it, and terminology is essential in that quest. Luckily, with Revolution it's aboiut finding the right verb or noun, rather than which method of which class to use.
