How about:

REPLACE memofield WITH STRTRAN(memofield,"\bg\","\xx\")

Think of a memo field as a big string in a table, with some built-in parsing that allows you to examine it line-by-line easily.

Processing a memo broken up into lines is simplified by some memo-specific functions; ALINES() can extract a memo into a 1 dimensional array of strings, you can use the MLINE() and MEMLINES() functions to spin through the memo line-by-line. ATLINE() and ATCLINE() will return memo line references for substring searches similar to AT() and ATC.
