code:
if ord (input) >= ord ('a') and ord (input) <= ord ('z') then
   put "lower-case character"
end if

Consider:

code:
function isBetween (ch, first, last : char) : boolean
   result ord (ch) >= ord (first) and ord (ch) <= ord (last)
end isBetween


code:
if isBetween ('M', 'A', 'Z') then
   % yada yada
end if
