     How did you create them?  With BASIC?  Microsoft's 'wonderful"
BASIC will allow you to create lower case filenames... why, I don't know.

     You have two possibilities:

               1) Rename the files ( which may be easier )
               2) Use a program that does *not* require input from
                  the command line.

     If you're going to try #2, I suggest NSWP.  It should have no problem
with the lower case name.  One moment, while I check...

     OK, NSWP *does* know what to do with the filename.  The "F"ind 
command won't locate it in the list ( probably due to the fact that
it's capitalizing it's input ), but if you step along to it, and "T"ag
it, then use the "Y" command to set its SYStem attribute, you can make it
disappear.

     'Nuff said.
