I am a bit peeved (that's the polite term) that neither of these

They complain when the product is case-sensitive; they complain when
it is not. Conclusion: developers like to complain.


And why, o why, would anybody choose/decide to make GETFILE()
disrespectful of case ?


Because it was written back in the DOS days when there was no case-sensivity.

Ideas ?  Why do I need/want this ?

Use the MS Common Controls dialog rather than the native VFP function
call. It's documented in several white papers over the years, in all
of the Fox magazines, and may even be in the Solution app.

And Windows developers whine that *nix is case-sensitive.... shesh!
