We're having a problem here with the Norwegian national characters and
TeX...  For our 3 special characters, we use \AE, \O and \AA for upper
and \ae, \o and \aa for lower case.  This is standard TeX.  However,
the command \uppercase{\ae\o\aa} produces the equivalent of \ae\o\AA,
while \lowercase{\AE\O\AA} produces the same as \AE\O\aa.  We need to
somehow tell TeX that the first two pairs have their other-case
counterparts as well, and I've been unable to correctly modify their
\uccode and \lccode versions.  (I've successfully changed the \uccode
and \lccode values for normal letters, but TeX doesn't seem to react
to my attempts to change these...)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
