Truly I'm not trying to be argumentative in any way.  Honestly I'm trying to 
understand.

My emulator is set to CP-1047.  I'm in ISPF with caps off.  I enter this:

åä  
4444
7300

Then I turn caps on and get this:

åÄ  
4644
7300

One uppercases the other doesn't.

If I do the same with my code page set to CP-278, Finnish I get:

Caps Off -
}{ 
444
730

Caps On -
}# 
464
730

The { folds to #.  So I'm not seeing any changes based on the context.  That's 
why I _assumed_ what I did.

Whaaaaaat??!! Clearly, ISPF classifies characters as being majuscule, 
minuscule, numeric, or other ("special") based on this information. 
Otherwise, it would have no way of knowing how to perform case 
conversion, how to process various FIND command options, etc.
