Should actions be looked up case-insentively?

I.e. in the command window and menu definitions, if the user says
"quit()" should it match "Quit()" or complain?  Do we ever want to
support two actions that differ only in case?

My opinion: Actions should be case sensitive -- it's the unix way.
Command line switches for various programs are often case sensitive.
Aren't the commands in vi case sensitive?  (I only know enough vi to
get out of it when I am inadvertently dropped into it.)

But they should be lowercase in that case. (typing mixed case commands is a pain as someone already noticed)

Probably tab completion would be a good idea (better IMHO than cryptic shortcut acronyms)
