Oops, you're right -- tcsh doesn't use this value when expanding globs...
In fact, as far as I could see, there is no way to make tcsh expand globs
in a case-insensitive manner.  However, it would help if one tried to open
a file with the wrong case filename...

Mike,
Does the glob expansion function of tcsh (^X-*) work?  What *are* the
exact filenames (as returned by 'ls' in bash)?  Windows often renders
all-uppercase filenames as lowercase in Explorer, maybe this is the issue?
