Save the file as Change Case.js in the Configuration/Commands folder.
The
changeCase()
function is a user-defined function that is called by the
commandButtons()
function when the user clicks OK. This function changes the selected
text to uppercase or lowercase. Because the UI uses radio buttons, the code can rely on one
choice or the other being checked; it does not need to test for the possibility that the user
makes neither choice.
