The replace command replaces an entire task with a new entry. The format of the command is REP N text or R N text where N is the number of the task to change and text is the new task entry. To see how this works consider the following task.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [06] Buy the antivirus software. Priority: 05 Context: @Date 2006-08-28 @Computer Projects: Maintenance Created: [2006-08-13] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ >>> |
The task number is shown in square brackets before the task description; in this case the number is 6. Let's see what happens when we use the command.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [06] Buy the antivirus software. Priority: 05 Context: @Date 2006-08-28 @Computer Projects: Maintenance Created: [2006-08-13] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ >>>REP 6 Buy a firewall :pServer |
The result is that the task is replaced by our new entry. Note that because the date has been removed, the task's position in the list may also change.

If you don't enter the text, the program will prompt you to enter the new details.
When you change a task it may alter the order of other tasks in the list, and therefore the task numbers. If you are unsure about whether or not the task number of an item you want to edit has changed, use the LIST or GO command first to check the entry before you edit it.
