Well, this highlights a shortcoming in DefMod's help generator. As you're
probably aware, all the SWIs are defined in a generic, language-independant
manner, which DefMod then parses, and generates the appropriate output for
the various targets, including Help. The constants are actually defined like
that; it is the C translation module that fiddles about with the character
case. The Help module is not sufficiently clever to do this, although I
agree it would be a nice thing to do. One day, maybe.

Yes, the scope is there, but I'm not entirely sure what you'd expect in such
a manual. Could you elaborate a bit, please?
