Yeah, those extensive Australian umlauts and accents would require that. ;)
OK, this spurred me to some action. I'll look for the algorithm to upper and lower unicode properly and incorporate it. I've already removed the old ASCII scripting addition calls in lieu of "id of character" and "character id" and it does indeed fail the upper and lower process with accented characters.
Of course, proper unicode case changing is quite simply, HARD. Looking into it, the case mapping file is over a megabyte and there are numerous rules which need to be implemented.
