Put the lines:
   /* REXX, of course */
   'CHANGE /string1/string2/* *'
   'FILE'
    exit
into the file 'GLOBAL XEDIT A'.

Enter 'FILELIST some* files* *'
(or whatever you need to get FILELIST to display all the files
you want to change).

Then, on FILELIST's "command-line", enter:

 'EXECUTE * XEDIT / ( PROFILE GLOBAL'.

That's all!
