Is that to say that the reason why I can't create a file under my current 
GS/OS called "test/file" is because I have my ProDOS FST enabled?  If it 
is the ProDOS FST that is preventing filenames to be STORED in lower-case, 
then if I disable it, I can have one file called "FILE" and another called 
"file" in the same directory?
