Re: typing in lower case

That's too harsh. For a mid 1980's word processing program,
XyWrite's AU function was pretty damned marvelous. 95 % of the
time, as a ballpark estimate, it did what it was supposed to do
(or what the user WANTED it to do), and that one-time-in-20
where some intervention was necessary was no big deal.

Morris:

There's a built-in way to do that: Auto-Uppercase, toggled with the
AU command. A reverse-video "A" in the upper righthand corner of
the screen indicates that it's active.

I'm not big on it. It mishandles quotation marks, abbreviations,
URLs, etc. Look, e.G., at this sentence and what follows. "this is
a sentence?" he asked sententiously. A mess. Tyson's routine is no
better. I'll take the Shift key any day.
