Description
Replaces the text in a notepad window of the given title. If no such window exists, it is created.
The function "ReplaceNotepad" does not activate (bring to the front) the notepad window. However the function "ActivateNotepad" can be used to do that.
You can use world.activate to activate the world itself (eg. you might want to do that after creating a notepad window).
VBscript example
world.ReplaceNotepad "Nick's window", "New contents" + vbcrlf
Jscript example
world.ReplaceNotepad("Nick's window", "New contents\r\n");
PerlScript example
$world->ReplaceNotepad("Nick's window", "New contents\r\n");
Python example
world.ReplaceNotepad("Nick's window", "New contents\r\n")

Lua notes
You can supply multiple arguments after the notepad name, which are concatenated together.
