If I understand your question, all the above will work. For all intents and purposes, Rev ignores case. On the desktop, reading file paths, file names, registry entries are all unaffected by case. Most Web URLs are not case sensitive (a few are, especially where user names/passwords are included in the address string). I can't think of any situation off the top of my head where case matters, aside from stack passwords, which I believe are case sensitive (perhaps someone else will chime in here). This is one situation where a little experimentation will get you your answer. PS One comment I'll throw out there regarding file name convention issues is with Windows (go figure). I've read that systems up through Win2K (not sure about XP) have an inherent flaw which can cause problems when trying to replace applications via an installer. If the app to be replaced has a non 8-dot-3 name, the installation can fail (I've ran into this a while back). Supposedly this does not occur with documents, DLLs, etc, only exe files. FWIW.
