<snip>My personal pet peeve is files where the non-comment content *must* be in 
upper case, but the IBM samples are provided with mixed case comments. Hello, 
JES2 initialization members.</snip> Isn't it true (or is this no longer a 
"thing") that mixed case text is "easier" to read and has better comprehension 
than all upper-case or all lower-case? That's what I learned long ago, but I'll 
admit that I never read a "real" study on the subject.
Anyway, if it's true, then doesn't it make sense to have mixed-case comments 
(which are meant to be "read") even if the command requires upper-case?
