Scot,

This is one way to change multiple waypoint symbols:

• First, group the same type of waypoints together in MacENC (e.g. anchorages)
• Export the Waypoint group by dragging it's folder onto the desktop (this will create a Waypoint.gpx document)
• Select the Waypoint.gpx document and choose "Get Info" from the finders File menu.
• Change the "open with" in the Get Info to TextEdit
• Open the Waypoint.gpx document in TextEdit
• Choose "Find" from the Edit menu
• Replace all "<sym>BLANK</sym>" with "<sym>ANCHOR</sym>"
(Note: there should be no space in "/sym" above)
• Save your changes and quit TextEdit
• In MacENC, choose "Transfer>From file !" from the Waypoints menu.
• repeat for your other waypoint types

There are text equivalents for the various symbols (ANCHOR, BELL, BLANK, CANG, CANR, etc.). Look through the .gpx document and choose the text equivalents that you want. The example above assumes that no symbols have been assigned (BLANK).

or! you could write a small XSLT to convert the .gpx instead of using TextEdit.
