"CAPS" perhaps doesn't impact the quality of Radoslav's work product, but only his productivity,which he perceives as a need. The CAPS behavior is an annoying relic of accommodation to the earliest 327x terminals which transmitted lower case while treacherously sent lower case while displaying upper case, and lacked a Caps Lock key. Later terminals have repaired both defects. CA:S is no longer needed and should be made a no-op. Ed J. has the solution: Caps Lock, but ISPF continues to intrude. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
