HyperCard really is changing the case of the filename when it then looks for
a file.  Under the Mac operating system (including real AppleShare), file
name lookups are case-insensitive, so HyperCard works.  Unix (running AUFS)
however, is case sensitive, so the name lookup usually fails.

I've talked to one of the people at Columbia about the problem, but they
are uncertain what to do about it, since it is such a fundamental difference
in the operating systems.
