Nice explanation.  And, since I carry most of the man pages in my head,
the command you want is 'STTY -LCASE' :)

The characters you type are displayed as uppercase but are passed
to the shell as lowercase by default.  If you do 'LS' in a directory
with both upper and lowercase characters the *real* uppercase ones
will display with a BACKSLASH '' in front of them.

You can even enter R to pass an uppercase r to the shell.

I seem to recall ^ being used for pipe, '|', because TeleTypes
did not have that character either.
