Hello Troy,

Many ways to do this. The simplest: capture the entry's "changed" signal and 
make the text uppercase; this way works also for text pasted from the clipboard:

def on_entry_changed(entry):
	new_text = entry.get_text().upper()
	entry.set_text(new_text)

entry.connect("changed", on_entry_changed)

ps: [offtopic] a question for the owners of the list: when I make a reply to a 
message, it does not appear the mailing list address as destination but only the 
person who wrote the message. This may be the reason why so many people answer 
privately without noticing. Is this the desired behaviour?
