It is bound to C-x C-u. (upcase-region BEG END) Convert the region to upper case. In programs, wants two arguments. These arguments specify the starting and ending character numbers of the region to operate on. When used as a command, the text between point and the mark is operated on. See also `capitalize-region'. David
