What do you mean by case sensitive?  In Business Basic the interpreter 
allows you to enter commands in lower case but automatically converts 
them to uppercase before storing them but doesn't touch information in 
strings.  For example, entering 10 a$="This is a test" and then listing 
the program will show: 10 LET A$="This is a test".
The interpreter considers commands and variables to be case insensitive 
but strings to be case sensitive.  Variable A$ is the same as a$ but 
"This is a test" is not the same as "this is a test".
