We're not in the business of doing homework. Some hints though:

`s.upper()` converts the string in variable `s` to all upper case
(e.g. "aBcD".upper() --> "ABCD")
`for line in afile:` iterates over each line in a file object. `afile`
is the file object and `line` gets assigned each line in turn.
`s[x]` gets you the (x+1)-th character in the string `s` (e.g.
"abcd"[2] --> "c")

And here are the docs on working with files:
http://docs.python.org/library/functions.html#open
http://docs.python.org/library/stdtypes.html#file-objects

That should be enough to get you started.

Cheers,
Chris
