Caps Lock is a modifier key and does not generate a scan code at the
level at which Kermit (MS-DOS Kermit or OS/2 C-Kermit) reads them. You
can see this by typing SHOW KEY at the prompt and then pressing Caps
Lock.
However, the Caps Lock itself should do exactly what you want. Press it
once, the Caps Lock light comes on, and all letters entered at the keyboard
come out in upper case.
If your Caps Lock key does not work this way, then you must have changed it.
