you can turn on the case flag when ftp'ing your routines from
the PC to the unix system.

Make sure you use the correct type of quotes.

hmmm, do you know of a good way to rename all routines in a
directory to lower case? I presume it would involve pipes,
ls, grep, etc, but don't have the time to figure it all out now.

That's almost correct. IDL doesn't actually pay attention to the case used in
an IDL statement. Routine Xyz can also be referred to as xyz, XYZ, xYz, etc.
When it's looking for this routine in the path, it always assumes that the
routine is stored in a file with all lowercase characters, i.e. "xyz.pro".
On the Unix machine, simply change all your filenames to lowercase, and you
should be all set.
The only practical way to compile a routine stored in a mixed case filename is
to use .run which is case-sensitive, e.g. ".run XYZ.pro".
