Describes a program's ability to distinguish between uppercase (capital) and lowercase (small) letters. A case-sensitive program that expects you to enter all commands in uppercase will not respond correctly if you enter one or more characters in lowercase. It will treat the command RUN differently from run. Programs that do not distinguish between uppercase and lowercase are said to be case-insensitive.   Related Categories Formatting User Interfaces Related Terms character character string lowercase uppercase Shopping case sensitive Products Compare Products,Prices and Stores Shop by Category: Health Aids 169 Store Offers Personal Care 111 Store Offers Nutrition 13 Store Offers Office Supplies 221 Store Offers Baby Care 19 Store Offers
