I gree, you should use tcsh, like I do. ;-)

Tcsh accepts man and man, too, but it does not accept MAN, so I doubt it's
actually an HFS issue.

I hope they don't, but think they will. Now they've added journaling, HFS+
is easily one of the finest file systems out there, what with the plethora
of metadata it can handle. Too bad Apple chose to dumb down their file
system to comply with other, even dumber file systems (read: FAT and NTFS),
rather than improve on it (make it truly case-sensitive, for instance).
