more command changing text case!!

[bengalliboy]

I have a shell script that loops through a file and I have got 'more' command to generate another file. For some reason, the more command change the text to lower case!

How can I prevent this? Any idea? I am using Korn shell in AIX. Thanks a lot

Thanks but my question is, why the 'more' command would change the case inside a variable and how to prevent it? Thanks again!

The intent of more is to view a file one screenful at a time, not to copy a file.
Anyway, man more.
