I have a data set with about 600 variables and all are in upper case.  Is 
there a simple way to make the case lower?
I played with ren ARM lower("ARM") that didn't work.  I suspect I'm 
missing something very obvious.  What I'd eventually like to do is 
something like
foreach v of varlist A-Z{
ren `v' lower(`v')
}
but that won't work.
findit renvars
