Obviously if you have already-typed text that you want to capitalize, that's the way to go (I've been using Emacs since the 80's, sonny; don't try to teach your granpappy to suck eggs! :)). But I'm not interested in typing it, then using M-b or whatever to back up over it and M-u to capitalize. It's easier and faster (for me) to capitalize it with SHIFT as I type it. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
