Hello Jasen,
 VB>> Now, I hadn't thought of that. Although that may cause probs with
 VB>> win95 if it expects certain files to be in a certain case.

They are on one of my descript.ion editors.  Which is what started this off 
in the first place :-)   Dir's must be uppercase filename must be lowercase 
or it just ignores/doesn't display their descriptions.  Anyway thanks again 
for this solution Jasen.
 JB> (they tell me you need /I after global)
Noted.
 VB>> I thought there may be a 4dos toggle switch to do this sort of thing,
 VB>> so that it displays as per previous versions running under DOS 6.22.
 JB> /X will go "back" to the old way (but you won't see LFNs)
Doesn't on mine.  I get both directories and filenames in uppercase, but as 
you say with no LFNs.
Rgds, Vic
