It's pretty fragile though. As I pointed out in another message in this
thread, it can get into an infinite loop if a word begins or ends with
"-" or "_". It also will yield unexpected results for other types of
input as well. So, it really only works for a small set of well behaved
inputs.

We can help you with those problems if you like.

Not sure what to do about the OP, other than to suggest perhaps writing
their own PROPER_CASE proc or help to debug this one. There appears to
be no good way to solve his/her problem other than to fix PROPER_CASE.
