It was on the train this morning that I solved my Caps Lock program in the
simplest and most elegant way imaginable. I need to be able to run XyWrite
III+ under Pc/Focus in such a way that all my letters are in upper-case. Of
course the solution, after several months of occasional thought, was dead
simple. In my Focus directory (from where I need to load XyWrite) I simply
have a revised keyboard definition file, where normal characters are
upper-case, and Shifted characters are lower-case. No need to mess with
Caps Lock.
