This is doable simply by editing the appropriate file, depending on what
file type you used.

For prep files, all you change is the three letter residue name at the
start of every residue in that file... (i.e. UNK below)

UNK INT 0
CORRECT OMIT DU BEG
  0.0000
   1 DUMM DU M 0 -1 -2 0.000 .0 .0 .00000
   2 DUMM DU M 1 0 -1 1.449 .0 .0 .00000
   3 DUMM DU M 2 1 0 1.522 111.1 .0 .00000

For LEaP .lib files, there are more changes necessary...

At the top of the file, the array "index array str" lists all the residue
names. Change the particular "UNK" entry you are interested in, then
every !entry.UNK to your new name say "RES", i.e. !entry.RES
