String things from Ken's Rosetta thingie. <snip> Thanks Robert for a fast and very helpful response. Further testing found that these Print FN MakeName$("FISHER-PRICE, MICHAEL A. W." ) Print FN MakeName$(" EVANS JR,MICHAEL A.W." ) are output with wrong lower casing. I'm beginning to think that I need to separate the name flipping from the lowercasing. First I lowercase then I flip names...
