This may be apocryphal, but I've heard a story where Seymour Cray was once
asked why the Cray 1 operating system was case-sensitive. His reply was
that he didn't want to waste CPU cycles on case conversion

Surely all of you remember that CMS, too, is case sensitive? We're just
so used to running with an implicit 'ADDRESS CMS', not 'ADDRESS
COMMAND,' so we don't have to upper case our command names or file names.

How about trying the Accessibility

How about trying the Accessibility Options
in the Windows Control Panel and turn on ToggleKeys. That way CapsLock,
NumLock, and ScrollLock all beep when you press them. That should
alert you whenever you press one by accident.

sizing of font it frustrates... with fixed it scrolls.
