It doesn't make any sense to record a S&R action that does not automatically replace all occurences or no occurence and asks the user for every single case. A macro that e.g. only replaces the 3rd and the 5th occurence can't be applied to other documents in a useful way. So what you need is "Replace All" and "Start Replacing and ask me each time". AFAIK the latter is possible only by dispatching because it's bound to a dialog while the S&R API of the "core" document explicitly is designed to avoid dialog interruptions.
