This change is incorrect, and should be reverted.  Our conventions are
to up-case the function keys specified as <KEY>, as in <RIGHT> and
<DOWN>.  This follows what makeinfo produces for these keys in the
Info format.

(And yes, all the other places in NEWS where there are currently
lower-case function <key>s should also be fixed.)
