	Although not related to the subject at hand, I just wanted to point out that
when doing case conversions you should use the Transliterate routine from teh
Script Manager utilities(IMV-311).  It allows for Upper and Lower case 
conversions as well as other functions and it will work properly for languages
that do no have case distinctions (like Hebrew).
