From the keyboard, lowercase works fine.
  Left-Amiga + "v" and Left-Amiga + "b" for requesters,
  Left-Amiga + "n" and Left-Amiga + "m" to move screens,
  Right-Amiga + "x" to erase text in a string requester,
  Right-Amiga + lowercase character in menu short cuts.

However, lowercase in the menus themselves is a different story.
Are you trying to define a menu that has a keyboard shortcut using lowercase?
If you put uppercase letters in the menu definition, the user can use both
shifted and unshifted letters along with the Right-Amiga key.
