The cap you want is something \Word{\smallcaps ...}. The old mkii cap code is mostly a solution for fonts lacking small capitals.
This works for me at home (MkIV), but not on the wiki (MkII). I'm running 2012.02.08 MkIV at home, while the wiki runs 2011.10.08 MkII.
for mkii: \sc (which might trigger a smallcaps font if present) or \cap{\Word{...}} as there \cap is a font switch
(3) \CAP{some \\{text}} does nothing; the double backslash only produces a newline. According to the manual, \CAP changes letters that are preceded by \\ into capital letters.
(Actually, turns out this works under MkII, but not MkIV.)
Hm. Do we need that kind of stuff? If not (no longer) than we need to fix the (fonts) manual.
I can't imagine anyone being in a position that they *can* insert backslashes, but *can't* just capitalize the letters. I see no objection to marking this command obsolete, myself. I'm not in a position to edit the fonts manual, though.
Ok, let's consider it obsolete in mkiv then. Can you put that on the wiki?
