The documentation is not clear on this but when you set the end value
for the replaced text it is not inclusive for instance if you had
the string "0123456789" and the called replaceText("ABC",2,4)
the new string would be "01ABC456789" It did not replace the 4 just
23.
When you called replaceText with 0,0 it did not replace any text it
just inserted the text.
Hope this helps,
Walt
