[Ham-Computers] DOS Question

Hi All,

The blind dude is having a problem in determing upper and lower case when 
viewing a C:\ DOS screen.

I saved a file as "weekly.txt" When I examine the file name in the 
directory, it appears to be all in upper case. Yet it was in lower case when 
I saved it. What gives?

Unfortunately there is now way I know of to determine upper from lower case 
letters on a DOS screen listing. In a program, yes, typing, yes, but not 
when doing a dir/b etc.

So gentlemen, if I am using a DOS word processing program, running in DOS 
from boot up, not in a DOS window, and save a file using all ower case 
letters, does it come out on the HD as all upper case or all lower case?

Thanks!
