0. emacs -Q 1. Eval: (put 'upcase-region 'disabled nil) (put 'downcase-region 'disabled nil) 2. Visit the attached file. 3. Move point to just after the comma. 4. Define a *rectanguar* region: C-x C-n C-e 5. Downcase the rectangular region: C-x C-l 6. Repeat steps #3 to #5, but this time for upcasing the region instead of downcasing it ('C-x C-u' instead of 'C-x C-l'). The upcased text in the last step is not only the one marked by the rectangular region. The upcasing command acts as if a linear (i.e. non-rectangular) region was active at that moment.
