One of the major hassles with Dos 3.3 is it's inability to handle lower case characters. Luckily, this has been fixed with ProDOS. How many times have you typed in a line and pressed return only to discover that you get a syntax error because you forgot to press the Caps lock key down? Well, worry no more. Below is an extract which I obtained from an old A2-central(Formally Open-Apple) magazine. It gives the Pokes required to allow lower case letters. This modification will work with most versions of DOS, including some modified versions of DOS.
You can use the below Pokes in two ways. Either you can save type in the program then save it as a file, or you can type it in, run it, then init a disk with it on so as to have a permanent lower case accepting DOS. With the first method of saving it as a file, just run it each time you want lower case.
Lower Case DOS.
