Where I said "command line" above, I should really say "command line or edit
session".  However, the essential point is that it works as long as you don't
press ENTER.  That is precisely why I phrased it the way I did.

In article <4413@tellab5.tellabs.com> ram@tellabs.com (Bob Martin) writes:

You are still missing the point.  Locking lower case does not work only for the
NEXT time you select alpha (as you just said again), but for EVERY time you
select alpha within the current command line or editing session, unless you
specifically cancel the lower case lock.  That was my point.  Try it.
