Upper/Lower Case

[David McFarlane]

Lizzie,

I can confirm that JACanterbury's advice works.  It seems that the 
ACC scoring mechanism is case-insenstive, so for Correct an entry of 
either "z" or "Z" will match a response of either "z" or "Z" (I don't 
know that this is documented anywhere).  I tested this with EP1.2 
(which I much prefer for exploratory exercises), I assume the same 
holds for EP2.

Of course, there is always the low-tech solution documented at 
http://groups.google.com/group/e-prime/browse_thread/thread/6ff76d4d7b9575f8 
three years ago:  Just yank out the offending key, and if necessary, 
back that up with a healthy dose of epoxy.  No one needs a Caps Lock 
key anyway, and spare/replacement keyboards are cheap if you ever do 
need the Caps Lock.
