Notes

  • uppercase produces all capital letters by converting lowercase letters to uppercase. Non-alphabetic characters are not affected.
  • The capslock field property produces the same effect as uppercase in window contents.
  • Capitalization (what character is the uppercase of which other character, and vice versa) is set in the Character-Translation function of the Configuration.
