I guess you did not use ksh - I have the same problem like you on bash. Not sure why though. When using ksh like in the shebang (#!/usr/bin/ksh) all is fine. Maybe someone else knows why, sorry.

Update:
Found a way in bash - change the line inside the case/esac to:

Code:

                [A-Z])          echo $INPUT >> $TMP
# to
                [[:upper:]])          echo $INPUT >> $TMP

towlower_l

TOWLOWER(3)						   BSD Library Functions Manual 					       TOWLOWER(3)

NAME

     towlower, towlower_l -- upper case to lower case letter conversion (wide character version)

LIBRARY

     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <wctype.h>

     wint_t
     towlower(wint_t wc);

     #include <wctype.h>
     #include <xlocale.h>

     wint_t
     towlower_l(wint_t wc, locale_t loc);

DESCRIPTION

     The towlower() function converts an upper-case letter to the corresponding lower-case letter.

     Although the towlower() function uses the current locale, the towlower_l() function may be passed a locale directly. See xlocale(3) for more
     information.

RETURN VALUES

     If the argument is an upper-case letter, the towlower() function returns the corresponding lower-case letter if there is one; otherwise, the
     argument is returned unchanged.

SEE ALSO

     iswlower(3), tolower(3), towupper(3), wctrans(3), xlocale(3)

STANDARDS

     The towlower() function conforms to ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (``ISO C99'').
