If they retained case sensitivity of file names then you would be forced to
type "NewCLI", "EndCLI", etc.  How many Amiga users invoke commands using
the exact case of the file names which are saved in?  I rest my case.

I think that Ameristar took the only sensible choice considering that the
Amiga ignores case sensitivity presently.
