No, any time IDL is looking for file names automatically,
it always assumes all lowercase characters. It does this
*specifically* so these programs will run on UNIX machines.

If you hope to write programs that run in a cross-platform
environment, you always use lowercase characters and give
the files three letter extensions when you name them.

Cheers,

David
