For the paper's 26-letter alphabet, use the Oberon CAP operation and contiguous character codes:
PROCEDURE Index(c: CHAR): INTEGER;
BEGIN
  RETURN ORD(CAP(c)) - ORD("A")
END Index;
Both cases of a letter map to the same uppercase letter before subtraction, so the result lies in 0..25. This relies on the ordinary Latin A–Z and a–z character encoding used by Oberon; it is not a Unicode case-folding algorithm. The stipulated letter-only precondition avoids any need to reject punctuation.
