Re: [U2] BASIC code - upper, lower, CamelCase, what say you?

Charles:

I've always used the following:

      http://www.pickwiki.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?BFind

...to search everything on U2, including Windows directories. 
Considering Windows search capabilities really suck, this is very handy 
for our web stuff, programs, accounts, dictionaries, etc.  I did this so 
many years ago the newer version may or may not have some enhancements 
or fixes.  This way I couldn't care less about case.

Now-a-days all of my UniData STATEMENTS are upper case while everything 
else is designed to be readable by anyone who speaks and writes human 
languages (in my case English).
