This is a bug in the Windows 95 console driver. Caps Lock acts like Shift
Lock for 32-bit console applications that read scan codes (not just
characters). Hopefully Microsoft will fix it. There is no way to fix it
in Kermit, as it stands, because the characters you see are the ones that
Windows is reporting. We are working to convert Kermit 95 to a full GUI,
non-console application, and that will avoid the problem by not using
Microsoft's console driver any more. Watch this space for announcements.
