...[Program deleted]

Here is a shorter program to remove a given element from a list. 
\<< 	DUP2 
	1 SWAP 1 - SUB
	3 ROLLD
	1 + OVER SIZE SUB
	+
\>>

Example:
  2:  { 1 2 3 4 5 6 }
  1:                2

Efter evaluating the program you will have:

  1:  { 1 3 4 5 6 }

Hope that this helps.

Regarding your other qustion on converting mixed strings to uppercase, have
you tried using NUM?  Although I have not tried, I would think that it would
be rather easy to write a program using NUM for this purpose.
