Hope this is not the 1000th response on this topic.  The Atari caps key
does not work like a typewriter shiftlock key.  Hold down the shift key
and hit the caps key.  That locks you into uppercase.  Hit the caps key
without holding down shift and you are back to lower case again.

I believe the T/h/i/s  /w/o/r/l/d is an attempt to show that you are
logged in in all upper-case mode and are typing lower case.  Next time
log in in lower case and the /'s will disappear.
