Not sure what you mean?
Also, definitely use one of the Andy versions to "case" your titles. Much
more comprehensive solution. The only edge case I can see would be
something like a title with a McGary type name, pretty much impossible to
account for without looking up every word in a names DB.
I have a stack with 2 fields: the first one "fRAW" contains my
uncapitalised sentence,

Or maybe
put toupper(char 1 of tolower( trueword i of tTitle) ) into trueword i of tTitle
