Well, I setq'd in in my .emacs to be t, it appears by default it was nil.
Hopefully, this thread can now end.
Thanks,
Jeff

Jeff,

Case handling on NT is rather strange and I know little about it.
There is at least one relevant variable:

        w32-downcase-file-names

        "Non-nil means convert all-upper case file names to lower
        case.  This applies when performing completions and file name
        expansion."

So presumably (expand-file-name "FOO.C") would result in "foo.c".
What I don't understand is that NT should ignore case by default when
finding files.  Perhaps someone who knows more could comment on this.

Also, having gotten use to typing file names in lower case on NT, I
find myself handicapped when I use emacs on UNIX.  Does anyone know if
there is a way to expand file names in "case-fold" mode for UNIX?

Thanks,
