0. emacs -Q
1. C-x h DEL
2. M-x bibtex-mode RET
3. C-c C-b TechReport RET C-j

Echo area reports "Title of the technical report (BibTeX converts it to
lowercase)".

You can also type 'C-c ?' to get the corresponding help string for the
current field.

These help strings have been with bibtex.el since the early 90s, but I'm
not sure what they refer to.  Maybe Roland (CCed) does?

Thanks,
