If in the definition of a PIF I enter parameters in the "Optional
Parameters" field, or if I use a "?" to indicate that I wish to be 
prompted for parameters when I double click on the application icon, 
Windows converts the parameters to upper case.  This is
undesirable when running applications such as Microsoft's C compiler
whose parameters are case sensitive.

I assume that there is some simple way to instruct Windows to not do
this case conversion, but I have not found it.  Suggestions, anyone?

p.s.: I am running in 386 enhanced mode.
