Hi,
I was under the impression that a CP message/smsg could
be mixed case, as long as it was sent directly from an EXEC
or other program (and not from the command line which would 
uppercase all the console input).

1) Is this in fact true? (documented?)

2) IF it's true, what could be causing my messages/smsgs
to be arriving in all uppercase?

This is a serious problem, because I have a server virtual machine
to which I need to periodically send a bit of *non-printable-character* 
data. I ran this data through a 64ENCODE pipe stage before SMSGing
it, with the server using 64DECODE on the received data.
Unfortunately, with the SMSG arriving uppercased, my data 
gets klobbered.
I checked this with MSG to a spooled console and also see
arriving data in uppercase, even though the message was 
sent from an exec with:
"CP MSG <target>" variable_with_mixedcase_text

What have I missed?

Thanks!
Shimon
