subject: Passing Arguments to a REXX Program ...

When ever I pass an argument to a REXX program the argument is converted to
all capital letters for some bizzare reason.  Is there any way to avoid
this?  I am trying to create a batch file to call the proper archiver from
a DOS or OS/2 command prompt and InfoZip will only use a "-j" vs.
the "-J"
my REXX batch file keeps passing.

BTW - I am using:

-------

arg argument
path"Zip.exe" argument

-------

Thank-You in advance.
