>Description:
/usr/bin/systat translates all keyboard capital letters to lowercase.
This makes it impossible to do some things conveniently. e.g.
% systat n
then do ``:ignore X11''. Oops, that became ``:ignore x11'' which
gives "x11: unknown host or port".
Possibly the only bit of systat which needs to keep case is :netstat
for its getservbyname(). (And when did we get :ps?)
