Well, if the files can be wildcarded, this will edit those
whose version is not 1, changing all instances of OldString_nnn
to NewString_mmm where mmm is one number higher than nnn:

$ EDIT/TECO
[0[1[6[p7:wu60,7:w$
enDISK$USER:[LARRY.PROJECT]*.pli$<<ecen$g*i&$eb^Eq*$j:s;1&$"f0;'hkek>:g*^A
^Ahka<fnOldString_$NewString_$;.up\u0$qp,.kq0+1\$>>$
]p]6]1]0$$

Of course removing the "skip version 1" feature is something others
might choose to do.
