Let's say you have an object "A" that's hooked up somewhere
in your program. And you like to replace that object with a different
one- "B". But there's all sorts of connections that you don't
want to redo.
instantiate "B" and set it up the way you want- ideally matching
the pinouts of "A" so that it will drop in cleanly.
bring up "A"'s menu and choose "replace"
the cursor changes to a crosshair
click on "B" and drag it into place
Note that "A" ends up in your cut buffer, so that if you
immediatley do a "past" then you'll have A sitting disconnected.
Also VEE will do its best to hook things up if the pinouts
of "A" and "B" don't match
very useful at times.

OK, tht will get you part way there. But what if I still want A connected
to some things. I just want to insert B (or, gasp, discover a programming
error <in someone else's code
to be connected to B instead of A. The other GPL makes it easy. (right
there in normal mode, don't have to look for a "replace" command.) With VEE
it isn't.
