3. To change the first character of a word to uppercase and leave the rest
of the word in lowercase, you enter:
Command: UPPERCASE CHARACTER; LOWERCASE WORD
The UPPERCASE CHARACTER command changes the letter on which
the cursor is positioned to uppercase and then moves the cursor to the
next letter. The LOWERCASE WORD command changes the
remaining letters in the word to lowercase and moves the cursor to the
beginning of the next word. If you use this function frequently, you
could assign these commands to one function key.
How to Use
Place the cursor on the text item that you want to convert to lowercase.
Then enter the LOWERCASE command with the appropriate text item (for
example, LOWERCASE SENTENCE).
Tips
LOWERCASE LINE changes all uppercase letters on the line, regardless
of cursor position.
By entering a repeat count with LOWERCASE and the specified text
items, you can change several characters, EOLs, lines, paragraphs,
sections, sentences, or words to lowercase all at once. See “Repeat
Count” in Section 2 for details about the repeat count.
As a text command, LOWERCASE can persist on the status line.
LOWERCASE ignores lowercase symbols and characters.
Because a file’s maximum width is 239 characters, some of the text in a
text item you are changing to lowercase may extend beyond the
viewing area of the terminal.
