look up Str.Lower and Str.Upper, or just type these and hit F9, it will give you examples and hints on how to use it. In fact, if there is something you dont understand, just type it out and hit F9, it should shed some light on the situation.

-----------------------------------

nevermind i figured it out it went like this

var bah: string
var X : int
var value :int
put "enter a single character "
get bah
X:=ord(bah)
put "ASCII value of ", bah, " is ", X
X:=X+32
put "the lower case letter is ", chr(X)

he's not using strint() though.

the proper answer was to check if the letter is in the proper value range first :wink:
