These stupid uppercase keyword discussions have been going on and on and
on...
Is there nothing more important to discuss?

Is there a way to make the capitalization feature so prominent and
immediatly available as to prevent this kind of questions?

Cuno, Mark --- why not include it into the distribution that's available
from the Ominc site? Perhaps, in the Obx subsystem?

Upper case keywords have many advantages -- one being exactly the
elimination of coloring schemes that are known to stress the eyes quite a
bit -- and some of us cannot afford it.

Also, color is such a powerful instrument (e.g. to show modified text most
likely to contain bugs) that to waste it on a trivial thing like syntax
highlighting that could be achieved trivially with upper case, is a shame.

Les, please don't get offended, but PLEASE, why are assuming we the
BB/Oberon users are so dumb as not run (sorry for my grammar...) into all
the issues with all-capital keywords etc. like ten years ago?!

Lower-case keywords are soooo archaic ...

cheers
