Subject: Font style attribute request.

Just ran the .9 Aboword for the first time on my Debian system. Wow! What
a great software! Not even the same program as the .7.
Anyway, I see that you've got styles (Format->Style...)working now. This is
great, it's the main thing I've been waiting for.
However, under the Font option of the style... dialogue there's no option
to turn on capital letters. I'd just like you guys to know that this is a
useful feature for some of us. An example would be script (movie or play)
writing. Locations and character titles are always capitalized and it's
nice to have a style defined that can be keyed to that will turn caps on
when activated (and off when changed to a new style).
MS Word is the only software I know that does this (since version 2). I
know that wordperfect doesn't do this though.
Anyway, I hope you can add this feature to your program. Perhaps you could
modify and migrate the Format->Change Case option (note that Change Case
isn't what I'm looking for because it only works on selections).
