This would be a big help as it's a major source of errors in my typing. If anyone has any ideas, either of an existing package that does this, or how to write a simple function that checks for ". [a-z] and changes it to ". [A-Z]" I'd appreciate it. thanks very much! matt --0015174bdfec0a6048048df609c9 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi Folks,
