Either use the Convert program that comes with WP to change the
delimiters or simply load the list into WP and do a global
search-and-replace.  WP will let you put most of its codes into
the search or replacement strings, including the merge codes.  If
you do the same merge often, you can create a macro to fix up the
list first.
