Dennis, It is strange that the Windows version of RStyle automatically makes names lower case. RStyle for DOS does not automatically make names lower case. I do most of my coding using the KEDIT text editor and have a macro which calls the DOS version. I will admit that my DOS version is getting a little long in the tooth. I just wish when i purchase RBase upgrades (I am using v7.6 for DOS) that there would be an upgrade to the RStyle DOS version.
Perhaps if enough people ask RBTI will and a option for names that will allow: keep as is, make all upper case, or make all lower case. After all we have such an option with keywords.
