Hello,

Does anyone know of a "slick" way to get R to convert a string which is all 
upper case to a string where the first letter in each word is upper case and 
all others are lower case?  

I suspect the solution is to begin by parsing the string, convert the 
appropriate letters to upper and lower case using "toupper" and "tolower", and 
then to paste the pieces back together. Moreover, given the elegance and power 
of R, I'll bet this can be coded very tersely. Before I embarked on trying to 
code this, I thought I would tap the R braintrust to see if this has already 
been done.

Any help greatly appreciated,

Damian
