well .. string comparisons aren't case sensitive unless you use strcomp

Try

   select case true

      case strcomp(...)  = 0

   end select

the other was is to use ASC instead of a string but that's not very  
friendly either
   select case asc(optChar)

       case asc("a")

       case asc("A")

   end select


or a pile of "if strcomp .... "
