Partial answer to Bob Martin's Question #1:  "How do I get lower-case lock
to ALWAYS be on?"

I don't think you can.  If you press [alpha] [lshift] [alpha] from the 
command line, do your stuff, then press [ENTER], you have to press 
[alpha] [lshift] [alpha] again the next time.

HOWEVER:  If you're editing an object in the CL or the EW, the 48 saves your
"lower-case lock" for you as you toggle in and out of alpha mode.  In other
words,

Start creating an object (say a list or program) in the CL, or an algebraic
in the EW (well, some of still like it...)

Press [alpha] [lshift] [alpha] to get "lower-case lock".  Do some alpha stuff,
then press [alpha] to exit alpha mode.

Press [alpha again, to get back into alpha mode.  You should still be in 
lower case.

CONCLUSION:  It looks like "lower-case lock" will be preserved as long as
you don't exit to the stack display.
