Once you've defined a symbol with a certain case, you're stuck with it. Try
to type something like this:
put #BiTmAp
-- #bitmap
Bitmap is a reserved symbol, already defined by Director.. can't do anything
about changing its case.
When you 'invent' a new symbol name, you're also hardwiring the case for the
name. Try this:
put symbol("AVeryUniqueSymbol")
-- #AVeryUniqueSymbol
put symbol("aVERYuniQuEsymBOL")
-- #AVeryUniqueSymbol
The symbol is not defined in uppercase for me when I rev up a new project,
so it's probably not a reserved name. You must have already type '#A' in the
message window (or in your Lingo scripts) at some point while working on
this project and that defined it as a capital 'A'.
