on lctocap(myFlag)
set theFlag to ""
repeat with eachcharacter in myFlag
set theAscii to ASCII number of eachcharacter
if theAscii 97 and theAscii > 122 then
set eachcharacter to ASCII character (theAscii - 32)
end if
set theFlag to theFlag & eachcharacter
end repeat
return theFlag
end lctocap
This is a handler I use frequently to capitalize various items. If you want
to go in the reverse, just change the value for your ascii check...

John, try downloading the AppleScript Guidebook modules from Apple. Go to

<http://www.apple.com/> to find their AppleScript page and download the

Essential Subroutines package. In there, you'll find a Change Case routine

all done for you. Also, check out the other modules! Great and useful

routines and examples, and you can copy scripts right from the Help pages

into Script Editor.
