I think what you're seeing is part of Apple's Easy Access INIT.  I just spent
a few minutes trying to find the documentation on it with no luck.  There is
a "sticky keys" feature of that INIT that enables those who might have    
difficulty typing to hit the shift key first and then the character they wish
to have appear in upper case.  I tried installing it in my system to see if I
was right, but couldn't get it to work.  Anyway, check your system folder to
see if it's there.  Move it off to the desktop (or delete it) and see if the
phenomenon re-occurs. 

On a vaguely related point: does anyone out there know what the dickens is
with Suitcase II that it is so hostile to other INITs?  I use a lot (some might
say *too* many) INITs and have had to rename most of them to begin with "z's"
just to get my machine to boot.  Is this the fault of Suitcase or the other
guys.  I have a feeling that someone out there ain't playing by the (Apple's)
rules!
