subject: Case-sensitive Filenames

From: Ross_Boyd@tnt.com.au
Hi all,
Is there any reason for filenames to be case-sensitive in the poup file 
picklist?
I ask this question because I am trying to avoid a situation where the 
history list contains duplicate filenames ie. one is mixed-case and the 
other is upper-case say.
It annoys me to have duplicates in the filename history lists and I 
want to somehow stop this from happening.
Here is the scenario:
1) I select Edit File
2) I type in "C:\" and then hit 
3) TSE displays a PickFile list.
4) I select AUTOEXEC.BAT (say)
5) If I look at my EditFile history it will now contain C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT 
(It may also be contain a "c:\autoexec.bat")
I want to somehow Lower() the returned filename at step 4 above which 
would avoid the duplicate.
Anyone got any ideas?
Just as a by-line, I have already forced all file history lists to 
store the entire path of the edited file so that it matters not which 
directory I am in when I select the file again from the history list.  
Semware please note:     This would be an excellent builtin 
configuration feature for TSE.
Regards,
Ross
