If you have or can get a version of "sed" for Macs then you could
use the filter-buffer (^X#) command using:

sed -e "s/\([a-z0-9]*\)_\([a-z0-9]*\)/\2_\1/"

as the filter command line. This works on both PC and Unix MicroEmacs
(I just checked).

	Cheers,

PS. I'm assuming Macs can do filtering, can they?
