That's fine, except it doesn't deal with potential upper ascii characters
from Windows, such as left and right single and double quotes, which
include the apostrophe. For example, if I want to paste the following
quote from Windows (copied from today's NYT):


ArtsBeat: ?Lost? Watch


I can't, because it uses left and right quotes. But if it had used
inch/foot marks, I'd be OK:


ArtsBeat: 'Lost' Watch


Similar problems arise with currency symbols other than $, with en and em
dashes, and with any accented character.


Is there a way to translate WinUpperAscii into XyUpperAscii before
the paste hits the screen and jumbles everything up?
