Changing Case sensitivity in TCL

The case sensitivity of TCL is entirely under your control.

1. Whether or not TCL is case sensitive by default is controlled by a switch in the environment.

To get to it:
- [F5] to go to TCL
- [F10] to get the Arev main menu
- Select Utilities - Configure - Environment - Query - Query Processes
- The first prompt in the Query Processes Window is "Ignore case in R/LIST queries (Y/N)". Set this to determine the default condition (I have mine set to "Yes" so that R/LIST normally ignores case - i.e is NOT case sensitive)
- Press [F9] to save your setting
- Keep pressing [Esc] until you are back to the Rec3 menu

2. You can override this setting in any given query using the CASESENS and
CASEINSENS keywords, so:

SELECT SITES WITH NAME CONTAINING "wood" CASEINSENS

will find "The Woodland" or "Deadwood Gultch" or "BIG WOODS", whilst

SELECT SITES WITH NAME CONTAINING "wood" CASESENS

would only find the second of these three examples - "Deadwood ..".
