Hi Chris,
Sorry, I didn't make that very clear.
I was talking about the history lists - specifically those that store 
filenames.
Yes I already do lower-case the filenames and expand their path before 
they get saved to history.
The point is, that with TSE 2.8, when you use  to bring up a 
PickFile() dialog and select a file it doesn't seem to allow me to 
Lower()/expand the filename.
See the 'scenario' below.
So, I was kinda hoping that someone might know a workaround for this.
Just as I think of it, maybe I can Hook into the _PICKFILE_STARTUP_ 
event and lower-case the filenames in the Pick Buffer.
I'll give that a try.
You know, sometimes just verbalising a problem can lead to an answer. 
Funny that.
Thanks for your feedback.
Kind Regards,
Ross :-)

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
