Steve, Your comment about limitations is well taken. IMHO case sensitivity _IS_ a limitation I can do without. The use of case for emphasis, and the ablility to use my own style in selection of where to use capitalization and when to use lower case or mixtures helps clarify the meaning of the program. My preference is to have case insensitivity, and overloading by context. >> Gary <<

Gary, With your "The use of case for emphasis, and the ability to use my own style in selection of where to use capitalization and when to use lower case or mixtures helps clarify the meaning of the program" is exactly my argument and is what case sensitivity gives you. You, the PROGRAMMER, decides when to use "lower case or mixtures" to suit your needs/style, not by arbitrary decree by the language designer. -sja
