A-Shell Reference

Proportional fonts generally do not look right when used to display words in all upper case. If your application tends to use all upper case for prompts and data entry, you might want to look at doing a conversion to standard upper and lower case first. (Again, as with some of the other changes recommended above, this will undoubtedly improve the look of your application even in text mode.) If you have a lot of text messages to convert, you might want to write a conversion utility to process all of your source programs, rather than doing them by hand. The XFOLD subroutine could be very useful for such a project, as it provides a way to deal systematically with exceptions.
