Yup. Modify the base class to achieve this. Future versions of c5 have
this done for you:
!abbrowse.clw make incremental locator case insens when nocase set:
!ABBrowse.clw
IncrementalLocatorClass.TakeKey CAse
IF SELF.NOCASE THEN !!!JJK MOD
SELF.Shadow = SELF.Shadow & CHOOSE(KEYCODE()=SpaceKey,'',UPPER(CHR(Key)))
ELSE
SELF.Shadow = SELF.Shadow & CHOOSE(KEYCODE()=SpaceKey,'',CHR(Key))
END
Then if the key is upper, the locator is upper.
