<h2>Syntax</h2>
<dl>
<dt> *print-case*</dt>
</dl>
<h2>Description</h2>
<p>*print-case* is a system variable that allows a user to specify how
symbols are to be printed by XLISP. If *print-case* is set to ':downcase',
all symbols will be printed in lower case characters. If *print-case* is set
to ':upcase', all symbols will be printed in upper case characters. If
*print-case* is set to anything other than ':upcase' or ':downcase', all
symbols will be printed in upper case characters. The default value for
*print-case* is ':upcase'.</p>
<h2>Examples</h2>
<pre class="example">
(setq *print-case* :downcase) <font color="#008844">; returns :downcase</font>
(setq a 'b) <font color="#008844">; returns b</font>
(setq *print-case* 'foo) <font color="#008844">; returns FOO</font>
(setq a 'b) <font color="#008844">; returns B</font>
(setq *print-case* :upcase) <font color="#008844">; returns :UPCASE</font>
(setq a 'b) <font color="#008844">; returns B</font>
</pre>
<p><b>Common Lisp:</b> Common LISP supports a third keyword ':capitalize' to
print the first character of symbol names in upper-case. XLISP does not
support this. In XLISP, if *print-case* is set to ':capitalize', all
characters in symbols names will be printed in upper-case characters.</p>
<p>See the
<a href="../manual/xlisp-man-011.htm#print-case">*print-case*</a>
system variable in the <nobr>XLISP 2.0</nobr> manual.</p>
