Any manual editing of the *.list files is just about guaranteed to destroy
that *.list file.  This is officially discouraged by L-soft for very good
reasons.  Edit one header at a time is the only way.

However, also long as you have to go through that pain, you should give
serious thought to Pete's suggestion to use the .IK keywords file insert for
various fixed header parameters per the requirements of your site to make
future changes much less painful.
