I don't know of any way to do that, apricot.
The %templates need an upgrade. There's no reason why you couldn't have:
%Fname = Linda
and
%FNAME = LINDA
for instance.
However, the two biggest things we need are:
%male = male or female
and
%age = age in weeks for kids younger than two months, age in months for kids younger than two years, and years from that point onward.
I have spoken with Jon about this and he apparently does not want to do anymore upgrades until the conference, because every enhancement requires debugging afterward, and he wants to focus on the SQL conversion.
