Enter text as usual and then call 'upcase-region' on interesting regions; from the manual: For example, suppose you wish to convert part of the buffer to upper case, using the `C-x C-u' (`upcase-region') command, which operates on the text in the region. You can first go to the beginning of the text to be capitalized, type `C-' to put the mark there, move to the end, and then type `C-x C-u'. Or, you can set the mark at the end of the text, move to the beginning, and then type `C-x C-u'. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- cut here -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Of course, you can also proceed as follows: Set the mark `C-', type the input text, and then type `C-x C-u'. This has the additional benefit that it may or may not work for non-ASCII characters, too. -- | ,__o | _-\_<, http://www.gnu.franken.de/ke/ | (*)/'(*)
