I know I used to know this command line command. But it has slipped away from my memory pan.
So, the symbol and effects path had a #, but now has a @.
What was the command line command to fix that ?
Thanks.

It does what it needs to and that is a great thing for those of us with many, many old maps.
If my brain was working today, I would have thought 'fix'. Oh, lets try that. Doesn't work. Then tried afix, then bfix, etc. got down in the alphabet to ffix, it works !
Of course, I have a few thousand older maps, and have to use FFIX to update the path references.
Note that the lesser being Joe refers to here is Ralf, and the true names of the commands are
CURFILECONVERT
and
MULTIFILECONVERT
I think Ralf prefer the shorter names, and I have to agree, as they are quicker to type, but they are just macros of the simplest kind.
The original name FFIX was a shortcut for was IMAGENAMESINSTALL2RESOURCE, which is quite a mouthful, and I guess why Ralf figured a shorter macro was in order. Don't use this command anymore though, CURFILECONVERT is much better.
