Actually, the method does not have to be Applescript.
The easy way is to use a script editor that has a Find/Replace All an
replace one name with the other, i.e. Script Debugger or Smile. Any other
way involves a scriptable script editor (Script Debugger or Smile again) and
scripting it yourself - why bother? - or copying/pasting the script from
Script Editor to a scriptable text editor like Tex-Edit Plus, or one that
has a Find/Replace All, doing it there, pasting it back, compiling, then
finding out what's gone wrong. ;-)

Well, probably best to leave that one to you. How about "CleanSocks"? Short
on the flair, but hasn't got spaces.
