There are a variety of ways to do what you suggest. The simplest is to create variables that the shell will convert to all uppercase or lowercase:


Code:
typeset -u COMP_UPPER PT_UPPER
typeset -l COMP_LOWER PT_LOWER

The variables above will always convert their values to uppercase or lowercase, respectively. Of course, you can also convert via other programs:


Code:
echo "$COMP" | tr '[a-z]' '[A-Z]'
echo "$COMP" | awk '{print toupper($0)}'

You get the idea.
