Rich, haven't you ever looked at MPW?  Its regular expression, search and
replace algorithms are at least those of ex's.  All the wildcarding, tags,
and so forth.  Further, you can keep the commands in the worksheet or store
them in a script file for future use without having to retype the little
buggers, copy and paste, etc.  In short, it gives you the ex capabilities
with the Mac UI enhancements.
