Lawrence's microEmacs v3.8 has some regular-expression capability.  I don't
know how to search for a pattern _and_then_replace_part_of_it_ (without
trashing the entire pattern), but this may reflect my lack of skills with
regular expressions.  (I can't manage this in vi, either.)  At any rate, it
*will* do the search part adequately for my needs.

Pointers: maybe in SIMTEL20 archives by now, or from Dan Lawrence's BBS at
1-317-742-5533; maybe elsewhere.  Plug:  I like this editor a lot.
