In earlier versions of RT-11, everything was upper case at the command
prompt and at the CSI prompt.  So case wasn't really a problem.  Later
versions of RT allowed lower case both for commands and at the CSI
prompt, so filenames were case insensitive.  One can specify a mix
of upper/lower case characters for a file name and RT converts it
to upper, then Rad50.

On output, however, all filenames are printed in upper case, since
that is what Rad50 converts to.
