Per your suggestion I'm re-reading Shalloway/trott
my page nums are maybe a little different, I assume you're pointing to
"Facade"?

this thread started with me wanting to change a string in a piece of text
in
various files
obviously a close-in view of an implementation issue(small inhouse utility
tools I create as needed to respond to user needs at the moment)

now you(via shalloway etal) get me thinking about the "zoomed-out" view of
an entire application context
in that context the object isn't a piece of text in a document whose
string
value I change....
it would be the ".Value" property of a "DescriptionObject" used by a
"ReinforcingObject" which was owned by a "CastUnit" object which would be
one element in a "Job" object in the "ReallyBigApp" which I want to create
but never have time to make progress on(due to actual work getting in the
way all the time :-) )

so my problem is this
today I need to change a piece of text
ideally this would be in the "ReallyBigApp"context above
but that will take me the next 20 years to develop in my spare time :-(
Is there a middleground that allows me to change the piece of text today,
but in such a way that it will fit into the larger context 20 yrs from now
<vbg>

sorry, none of this probably makes any sense to anyone other than me but
it's the only way I can think of to describe it.

"wanting to change a string in a piece of text in various files"

List them out in english sentances.
