Actually all my TTY keyboardsd have shift keys. Of course some of them 
are labeleld 'LETTERS' and ''FIGURES' :-)

But having a shift key doesn't mean the keyboard will send lower-case 
letters. The shift key might be used only to get things like the symbols 
over the digit keys, and letter keys may be sent in upper case whether 
the shift key is pressed or not. That ITT I mentioned in the last message 
was like that before I added the modification.
