Then you're not doing it correctly.  Explain every step in detail, else
nobody can guess which part you're missing.  Setting PYTHONCASEOK in some
random DOS box won't have any effect on PythonWin, if that's your complaint.

Note that this option only affects how Explorer *displays* names.  It has no
effect on how they're stored.  BTW, I agree that this option makes things
harder to read, and I don't use it myself either.

Your DOS box is too small, then.  Right-click on the icon you use to launch
the DOS box, select Properties, then select the Screen tab, and select "50
lines" from the "Initial size" dropdown list (assuming you're running Win9X;
NT/2000 have more flexible options).

Sorry, don't know to what "it" refers at this point.
