Others have explained why this happens, but I don't think that anyone
mentioned that you can fix it after the fact with appropriate incantations
to stty. Under sysV, putting "stty -iuclc -olcuc -xcase" in your .profile
will take care of things even if you logged in in uppercase accidentally.
I trust SunOS has equivalents.
