To use lower case on a II+ you need two things.  You need an enhanced video
chip and a piece of wire to modify the keyboard.  If you can't find a video
chip e-mail me and I can get you one for $25.

To do the keyboard mod take a piece of wire (Radio Shcak has one with
mini-chip leads that works great, part number 278-016.)  Connect it from pin 1
one the 74LS251 chip.  If you are looking at it from the front it is the one
right in front of the game i/o port.  Pin one is in the lower right hand
corner.  Connect the other end to pin 24 of the keyboard encoder.  Right under
the keyboard you will see 25 parallel wires and 1 is closest to the power
supply so the 24th is the second from the right.  Real easy.  With that you
can type in lowercase but you still can't see it with out the video chip.  

One other thing is that unless the software recognises the video chip and is
configured for the shift key mod, none of this will work.
