You've lost me there, Stephen. I understand why hk568512 should be
treated as the same as HK568512 on a platform where usernames are not
case sensitive. But I don't understand why should Analog decide that
when I say to treat HK568512 as "Adam Brown", Analog decided to treat it
as "adam brown"? Especially if Usernames are case sensitive, and "Adam
Brown" and "adam brown" are not the same thing.

Does FILEALIAS do this too? (Decide that I really meant index.html if I
specify Index.html as the alias for a file?)

I'm the original questioner, and yes, USERREPALIAS does indeed give me
the case sensitive User Report. (Another "doh" moment on my part - I
forgot about the output aliases). But then I'm caught by the sorting
bug, because I need to use USERSORTBY ALPHABETICAL occasionally to get a
list of logonIDs that I don't have aliases for (they get grouped
together when I sort alphabetically).

On the positive side, I did learn how to do a global search and replace
in vi! :.,$s/USERALIAS/USERREPALIAS/g
