ReplaceCurlyHexCodes()

This is a rexx function provided by PPWIZARD. This routine (like all PPWIZARD extensions) can be used with any operating system supported by PPWIZARD.

This function takes a single parameter (the string) and will return a new string where any strings of the form "{xXX}" have been replaced (where '??' is a valid 2 character hexadecimal code, x00 to xFF).
