vi case-change question

In vi, I would like to use the '~' operation on more than one character
at a time, but don't really want to take on the overhead of shelling out
to "tr" or somesuch. To wit, what I would like is a way to convert
upper to lower from the cursor to the end of line. For example,
FOOBAR DS.L 3 TABLE OF THREE FOO LONG WORDS
I'd like to be able to put the cursor at the beginning of "TABLE", enter
some non-shell-escape command (if possible) and get the line:
FOOBAR DS.L 3 table of three foo long words
Any ideas?
Comments such as "get a REAL editor" and "use emacs instead" will be met
with rotten tomatoes, as these are not options.
E-mailed responses welcome, I'll summarize if there's interest.
Merci d'avance,
rich
