Yes, I LIKE case-insensitive on the command line, wouldn't have it otherwise.
Let me clarify: the BUG is that text as I happened to type is passed to the Rexx function, rather than the ACTUAL directory name. I ought to be able to rely on a function call getting the ACTUAL text off the drive. That this isn't so is the mystery. -- I was in fact relying on the program call RATHER than any typing, and in the application it's definitely an annoying anomaly.
Fortunately, except for the one case where it locates the highlight one place off if I start in an "os2", "Os2", or "oS2" (but not the "OS2") directory, will probably be tolerable, so doubt I'll ever do the rather extensive uppercasing.
