Come to it, change the name to something shorter such as REPL$, because it frequently appears several times in a line, such as
T$=REPLACE$(REPLACE$( ... , "ė","e"),"ó","o"),"ú","u"),"ñ",n)
and it quickly fills up the command line and is quite cumbersome.

The REPLACE$ keyword is in the JPC ROM and so already part of my dreamt Ultimate ROM.
Also to map several characters such as in your example above, there is (in the JPC ROM too) the MAP$ function
T$=MAP$( ... , "ėóúñ","eoun")
and its powerful variant for files, the MAP statement - a very theoretical advice since I don't remember having ever used this statement :-)
