With scripting there is a big difference between the functions 
substitute and replace. You need substitute. the script would look 
something like this. the P is the reversed P (Pilcrow)

find records you need
goto first record
loop
set field ( MyField ; substitute ( MyField ; "P " ; "P" ) )
goto next record (exit after last)
end loop

keep well, Ursus
