I don't understand. Yes, I've made them lower-case, and then, I'm just 
listing them. I'm a Windows guy and this whole case business is new to 
me, but, I'm learning to have to deal with it. That's why I lower-cased 
all the files to start with. So, if they're lowercase, why would they 
display as upper-case?
