A friend of mine created a product called LowerEase that added lowercase
to the Apple ][. In addition to the character gen ROM and a shift key
mod, I thought the package also included a patch to the command-line
interpreter for Apple DOS. IIRC, DOS intercepted the command-line input
routine for AppleSoft, so this would have worked for BASIC as well. (I
never used his product, so I may be making this all up.)
