However, DIR is not a KBM command, but is something done by CCL.
Unless I'm really confused...
The thing giving you the "." prompt and reading the response is the
Keyboard Monitor. It handles simple commands like "ASSIGN", "DEAS",
"GET", "ODT", "R", "RUN", "SAVE", "START", and hands anything else off
to CCL using the command line that KBM read. User input is uppercased
before it's stashed into the input buffer.
With the patch, you can use lowercase much of the time in OS/8 but lots
of CUSPs aren't lowercase tolerant.
Uh. Are we talking about two different things here?
Yes. I was talking about a patch to KBM which uppercases input
characters. You claimed that wouldn't allow CCL commands to be
recognized, so I explained that KBM reads user input and passes it to
CCL if it doesn't recognize the command (one of those above). If you
case-fold input in KBM, you don't need to do it in the CCL overlay.
This is rather off-topic here. It's time to drop it, I suspect.
