I hope the attachment is not corrupted.
I tried your test case, and it worked for me, both with Make 3.80
and
the beta3 pretest of Make 3.81. Both messages are displayed:
Lower variables are accessible from a makefile.
Uppercase variables are accessible from a makefile.
This is on Windows XP SP2.
What is your Windows version? It's possible that your Windows shell
upcases environment variables (COMMAND.COM used to do that).
Im not sure I get the sense of your last sentence:(
My system is the same - Windows XP SP2 (with auto updates turned on).
I even performed the tests after a reboot and I got the same results -
only the second message is displayed.
Btw, I'm using a cygwin (www.cygwin.com) build of make. This is the
result of executing "make --version":
GNU Make 3.80

I then ran the test agains 3.81beta3 and it DID displayed all two
messages as expected.
One more question: Is version 3.81 expected to be released soon? If
so, when?
