My Bach interpreter has a built-in toupper() routine, so this caught my 
interest. I modified it to uppercase the extended characters properly for 
windows programs, then discovered that my dos box does not have those 
characters.

Are you trying to do this in a dos box?

If so, what code page are you using?  (Open a dos box and type "chcp"
at the prompt).

My dos box uses page 437, which has the box drawing characters, so it 
requires a different  toupper than Windows (code page 1252, i think).
