Hmmm... I'm not sure it is possible. It may depend on the underlying
filesystem rather than on the OS: on FAT and NTFS filesystems,
somefile.txt and SomeFile.txt both mean SOMEFILE.TXT and changing any of
them will in effect change all the rest; but on ext2, ext3, reiserfs,
etc. these names represent three different files which may coexist in a
single directory.
Try ":e [Ss]ome[Ff]<Tab>" or ":e Some<Tab>". Or even
:set wildmenu
:e *.txt<Tab>
Best regards,
Tony.
