RE: st: RE: Changing titles of graphs in a loop without doing all the graphs again

["Radwin, David" <dradwin@rti.org>]

You're welcome, and I agree that there is a need for better documentation for -gr_edit-. In this case I had to first remember that it existed, then use the graph recorder to see what the actual commands were. There might be a single command to replace those two commands, for example, but I don't know what it is nor where to look it up.
