The definitions CASE-SENSITIVE and CASE-INSENSITIVE enable and disable
case sensitivity. When I first started with SwiftForth, I was
accustomed to a case sensitive Forth. As some of my existing code
relied on case sensitivity, I also wanted to enable case sensitivity. I
found that it was more trouble than it was worth. Many examples, both
FORTH Inc's and those of others, were case insensitive (some
unintentionally). The "isn't unique" compiler message will help you
identify any existing code that needs renaming.

Just my two cents worth,

Mike

How can I turn on case sensitivity? The pdf manual says there is
an item under Options->Preferences to do this but I don't see it.
All I see are options for colors and toolbar button looks.
