Hi:
As I found out not too long ago, the case of the script name does make
some difference to the user because I uploaded a script which I called
"mousevoicerotor".  Someone emailed me to say that the he found it
difficult to understand the name, so I renamed it "MouseVoiceRotor"
and he emailed me to say that he now understood the name.
