Greetings.  I just came across the "Easy Templates" feature of Org-mode:

    http://orgmode.org/manual/Easy-Templates.html

In particular, using:

    <s<TAB>

to generate:

    #+begin_src 

    #+end_src

is a real time-saver for me.

One thing that would improve this feature for me: I like to keep source code in 
lower case and directives such as BEGIN_SRC in upper case.  (This must stem from 
some ancient convention I used in C at one time.)  I can't figure out how to 
customize the text of these templates.  Can anybody point me in the right 
direction?

Thanks,

-- Mike

  This should work:
  
  (add-to-list 'org-structure-template-alist
  	     '("S" "#+BEGIN_SRC ?\n\n#+END_SRC" "<src lang=\"?\">\n\n</src>"))

    Mike,
    
    if you intend to customise further than this, you might wish to consider
    using yasnippets [1] instead of these templates, although these
    templates are indeed quite useful!  I use both but, for instance, for
    source blocks, I have the following snippet defined:
    
    --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
    #name : #+begin_src language options ...#+end_src
    # --
    #+srcname: $1
    #+begin_src $2 $3
    $0
    #+end_src
    --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
    
    so that typing "src TAB" starts defining a source block with subsequent
    TABs allowing me to fill in the name, the language, the arguments and
    finally puts me into the actual code section.
    
    The nice thing about yasnippets is that you can have defaults for any of
    the fields.  For instance, here is one I use for Java files (not org):
    
    --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
    #contributor: dobbymoodge <j...@transloc-inc.com>
    #name : public? class ... { ... }
    # --
    // Copyright (c) 2011, Eric S Fraga, All rights reserved.
    package ${1:jacaranda.design};
    
    import jacaranda.base.Settings;
    
    ${2:public} class ${3:foo} ${4:extends jacaranda.base.EGO}
    {
      public static boolean debug = false;
      private static final int dl = 5;
      private static String version = "2011.03.02 20:04:40";
      static {
        Settings.output.printf (": <%s> $3\n", version);
      }
      ${5:public} $3 () {
        $0
      }
    } // end of $3 class
    
    // Local Variables:
    // time-stamp-line-limit: 1000
    // time-stamp-format: "%04y-%02m-%02d %02H:%02M:%02S"
    // time-stamp-active: t
    // time-stamp-start: "version = \""
    // time-stamp-end: "\";"
    // End:
    --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
    
    for when I start a new class file.

      Thanks, Eric.  You're not the first person to suggest that I look into 
      yasnippets, and it's on my to-do list.  (Using Emacs is a little like being in 
      the Red Queen's race:
