Hi Ralf, I try to be clear, but your response confuses me. To be completely explicit, the choices seem to be: >> fumble: You just fumbled this. >> fumble: you just fumbled this >> Fumble: you just fumbled this. My thinking is that "You just fumbled this." is a complete sentence. Therefore, that complete sentence ought to be capitalized correctly. The program name, on the other hand, is known by the case-sensitive letters that comprise the name. Changing them for a text display does not seem right. So, I think the first example most appropriate. I am looking for clarity that the second form is to be avoided and we are all in vehement agreement that the third is bogus.
