Is it possible in EMACS to replace several strings simulaneously? I.e.
if I want to replace all the 'abc's by 'xyz's and all the 'Ag's by 'Tr's and
all the 'E's by 'e's and all the ... See what I mean?

Sure, I can 
M-< M-x replace-string ...
M-< M-x replace-string ...
etc.

But that's much to type, and error-prone.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance,
