I understand your point Brian. So what do we do with the situation where
upper case is actually more readable to me and yet less readable to you?
How do we rationalize such a dichotomy?

I am not sure that is a good argument .. a simple 15-20 line program FIND
will convert all to upper case and do a search that way.

I've been listening to this with a mix of amusement and sympathy. I've been
doing integration work between (originally DOS) and PICK since the early 80's,
and have found myself shifting between C/C++/C#/Java/Other and PICK on a
regular basis. I've come to accept that most of my customers want
variable or command or by throwing in numbers and special
characters. It explodes exponentially.

How come my code won't compile if there are blank lines in it? And yet when
I find source on the net it has blank lines in it?
and while we're at it, what is the case for / against using lower or upper
case code, and what do I need to set to allow this to happen?
