I have a routine called "electric-replace" which folds all the standard
replace commands (string & regexp, query, ...) into one command based
on the C-R key.  It also allows limiting the replace to the region, or
applying it to the entire buffer.

I posted the source to gnu.emacs.sources, so it is probably archived
somewhere.  If you can't find it, let me know and I'll e-mail you a
copy.
