Don't thank me.  Thank Charles Daney.  His 'Programming in REXX' book is the
best investment I've ever made in a programming book.

RW> Is there any way to get a non case sensitive comparison??

I don't think so.

Probably the best way to do it is to copy both operands to temporary variables 
and then convert these variables to lower or upper case before you compare.
Daney seems to like converting to lower case.  I don't know why yet.

You can drop the temporary variables and use the original operands however you 
wish depending on the outcome of the compare.
