Ah, Agent as in Forte Agent? Long time since I've used that ... (I still
remember running it as my primary newsreader inside WINE for a few
months after I switched to GNU/Linux, until I realized how much I
preferred a purely text-based interface).
Does it have help files on what kind of regexes it supports? Of course,
it could also be that they're buggy - you should certainly be able to
replace (4|5|6|7|8|9) with [4-9] in any sensible regex engine, unless
you're trying to capture the digit and use it in a replacement
expression.
