<P><FONT SIZE=2>Thanks Bob, </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>That must be the reason - and made a lot of sense in those days. But I guess in this age of almost limitless RAM/ROM....., we could do with case insenstivity just fine. </FONT></P>

<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Subject: [Javascript] RE: Case Sensitive Language</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>One reason maybe mathematical: Using case sensitive means that 'If' and</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>'if' and 'IF' and 'iF' are all different and thus four separate 'words.' If</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>there is no case sensitivity, then there is only one 'word' regardless of</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>the combination of the letters. IMHO it comes from the days when computer</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>resources were limited and machine 'word' were limited in size; e .g. using</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>case sensitive language allowed more two letter 'words/commands.' </FONT>
