Okay, having said all that I think I might be able to show something weird happening with that capitalisation line of code in a simpler program.
This code repeatedly sets a string to 'test' and then tries to capitalise the first letter to give 'Test':
The weird thing here is the longer you run the routine, the higher the value of memavail - it just gets bigger and bigger. Would I be correct in assuming it's not supposed to behave like that?

Code:
#include <alloc.bas>
dim st$ as string
start()
sub printmem()
dim f, m as uinteger
f = memavail
m = maxavail
print at 22,0; ink 6; paper 2; flash 1;str$(f);" ";at 22,15;str$(m);" "
do while inkey$<>""
loop
do while inkey$=""
loop
end sub
sub capstring()
cls
print at 0,0;st$
printmem()
IF CODE (st$(1))>96 THEN LET st$(1)=CHR$ ( CODE (st$(1))-32): END IF
print at 1,0;st$
