>Description:
When the CAPS LOCK key is depressed, the machine behaves as if the SHIFT
key were held down.  This is not correct for non-alphabetic keys.
For non-alphabetic keys, CAPS LOCK should have no effect.
(At least this is my opinion, and this is how machines have worked with the
exception of the Commodore 64 :-)
>How-To-Repeat:
Engage CAPS LOCK and type "l;".  It comes out as "L:" but it should be
"L;"
>Fix:
Line 555 of ite.c reads:

        case KBD_KEY:
                if (!capsmode) {
                        code = kbd_keymap[c];
                        break;
                }
                /* FALLTHROUGH */

        case KBD_SHIFT:
                code = kbd_shiftmap[c];
                break;

You need to replace the /* FALLTHROUGH */ with code that does the
equivalent of toupper(kbd_keymap[c]).  Doing this in a local-aware
manner is not trivial.
