The backslash immediately following the quoted string indicates that the next line should be concatenated. #694 is actually ONE STRING containing: "*n*hNode Status*c____ ___________...." If you want to use REPLACE_TEXT to replace it, construct a string containing all the replacement, and then call REPLACE_TEXT. (I've butchered my string up there so I could type it, but you figured that out for yourself, right?) .
