Hi Chris, Try this: in your .emacs, add the following code:
(defun prompt-for-lastname-and-upcase ()
(upcase (read-string "Last name: ")))
This defines a function that will prompt the user to type a last name
into the minibuffer, converts the result into uppercase, and returns it
as a string.
Then, in your capture template, change "%^{LASTNAME}" to
"%(prompt-for-lastname-and-upcase)".
Best,
Richard
