Normally, case sensitivity in a program does not bother me.  It's just that
with a terminal program, I was hoping for insensitivity because a service I use
a lot "prefers" all-caps for my logons.  Since Ultimaterm always puts me in
all-caps as soon as I drop into terminal mode, I wanted to continue along this
line by being in all-caps as soon as STerm has me in terminal mode.  I've found
that under Ulterm, if I call CIS before them, I usually forget to restore all
caps and am not reminded until Tymnet refuses to get me through.  And Tymnet
won't let me through to the service unless my full logon procedure is
absolutely flawless.  One lowercase or mistyped character and I have to hang up
and redial.  I did complain to their customer service. They acknowledged the
situation but said there is nothing they can do about it.  My sole intention of
starting the thread was for purposes of easier OS-9 logon to that service, not
to stir up trouble.
