Pronterface caps on/off oddity

Quentin mentioned an oddity about Pronterface, which I have now experienced myself, at least under Linux. When typing in commands in Pronterface, e.g. G1 X100 Y100 Z10 F5000, it is important to stick to all upper case or all lower case. Once you start mixing cases, the result is NOT what you expect.

 I typed in the example above, except I used a lowercase "y", and Morgan again tried to wring its own neck (at least, tried to move the print head right through the drive shaft).

This is just another thing to be aware of, this can seriously (and probably did, for me) hamper your calibration efforts.
