The zip file should contain the following files:
Phreplace stores settings in an ini file by default (this can be changed to use the registry, see the settings menu) therefore once it has been extracted the PSPad folder can be moved without having to reinstall phreplace. This means it can be used with a portable copy of PSPad e.g. a copy of PSPad on a portable media device. Please note that phreplace will need to register the phreplace.dll file on each computer in order to run, the startup script does this automatically.
To start phreplace, click on the Scripts menu in PSPad and select Multiline Search / Replace. A shortcut key can be assigned to phreplace, by default this is Ctrl-Alt-F. This can be changed in the phreplace startup script (phreplace.vbs).
