I recall using Prism 1 and Prism 2s terminals with no lower case characters. You had to use CHAR(107) or the like for smaller letters. In fact, their RUNOFF had a .LC or some lower case formatter for nice output.
I just spent the day on a whole upper case system and it looks fine. I also read and wrote about a dozen emails as well in its proper case. Looks fine also. I guess it's what you're used to under the specific circumstances. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ron Hutchings" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, March 14, 2007 8:08 AM Subject: [U2] Upper Case and Editors > The comment regarding upper case coding for upper case text messaging raised > my dander.
