sounds like you're talking about the history lists.  by default, they
just take verbatim what you type.
you mentioned you've already modified it so the history lists always
store full pathnames.  if you want them to always use lower case, why
not add that modification to the one you already made?

Subject: Case-sensitive Filenames
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
