 Jerome,

Works like a charm! Thank you very much indeed!
But, I follow DEC-11-UTECA-B-D (PDP-11 TECO User Guide) and the part 
on the
ET flag (page 78) doesn't state anything about lower/uppercase. Only 
the EU
flag which I didn't get to work at all.
Where did you find this amazing piece of information? 
It's in the TECO Pocket Guide - here's the ET bits for TECO-11 (with 
zero bits ignored):

Bit Value       Initial Value
0               0
2               1 if terminal is a scope
4               1 if terminal has lower case input
128             1 Before TECO's prompt
512             1 If terminal is a VT52 and VT52 Support is available
1024            1 If VT11 is present and VT11 support is available

EU is an output flag - if EU = 0, the terminal cannot display lower 
case so TECO flags lower case characters.
If EU = -1, the terminal supports lowercase output.

Another reference is the "Standard TECO" (sic) guide: 
<http://h71000.www7.hp.com/doc/73final/documentation/pdf/teco.pdf>http://h71000.www7.hp.com/doc/73final/documentation/pdf/teco.pdf

Section 5.16 describes the ET and EU flags.
