Hello Alan,

Looks Like You Want Sentence Case.

Have You Tried Something Like:
/* Assuming the first letter is already upper case... */
If length(word) gt 2
then substr(word,2) = lowcase(substr(word,2));

In other words,
use "substr" as a pseduo-variable on the left, a function on
the right,
and let the length of  "substr" default?

N.B.  Limited testing.
