#24 "tolower" and "toupper" macros

[Nick Green]

Original Brief has 2 macros I use a lot, namely tolower and toupper. They change the case of all characters, A-Z to a-z or visa versa, for all characters in the selected (marked) area. Can those be supplied as well in Grief?
Thanks,

the upper() and lower() primitives have the same functionality.

I'm sorry, I don't know how to invoke primitives. Macros I can invoke by
name using F10. When I try "F10 upper", it complains "parameter(s)
missing". When I try "F10 upper("ghi")", it complains undefined. In the
.pdf manual, there is a lot of listing of primitives but I don't find how
to use them.

With the original macro toupper in Brief, I first highlight the text in the
buffer (with Alt-M or Alt-C), then hit F10 and type "toupper". Then
alphabetics in the highlighted region are replaced with upper case. I
presume the "lower" primitive does something similar with given strings.
How do I get it applied to the buffer on which I am working?

Thanks,
