+experimented a bit and found that Mark is correct, however.  From a Wshell
+window ls 4.0k *IS* case sensitive.  What's the deal?  (Steve?)

As I recall, ls 4.0k has a switch to enable/disable case sensitivity, and is
by default case sensitive (to more closely mimic the U*IX version).  I can't
recall the letter used for the switch, and I'm not on my Amiga right now, but
the manual page for ls 4.0k is quite complete.

As for the SKsh/Wshell question, is it possible that you are using SKsh's
builtin ls when you are running that shell?  That is the only explanation
that comes to mind.
