You would hugely benefit from gaining some basic knowledge about the tools you've been using since 1979. Your transcript was done in a shell called "bash". Globbing in bash is - by default - case sensitive. If you want to change that, read the man page and then set option "nocaseglob" ("shopt -s nocaseglob").
