Can Dextron III ATF be used for the power steering fluid?

Hi,
I just realized that the lower power steering fluid  hose which goes  from
the reservoir to the pump is leaking and  cracked.  Where do you  suggest I
get a replacement hose and what  fluid do I use to refill the  reservoir?
Does it use standard ATF oil?  The reservoir appears to  have ATF oil
stamped
on it.  Do I need  to bleed the system when changing  out the hose and if
so,
how?
Thanks in advance,
David
Guess it's time for me to buy a  Bently manual.
