The command "stty olcuc" will give the results you mention.
That shows uppercase for stdout, but stdin is still case sensitive.
eg:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ LS
CONSBYCONTRACTORSCHEMA.XML
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ LS
-BASH: LS: COMMAND NOT FOUND
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$

The first command was done with 'ls' as input, the second with 'LS'.

Ohh, Cobol can use stty commands, as well as terminfo instructions.
I can also create a C library if it needs to be done like that - but I 
would like to exaust all other options first.

Thanks,

Scott
