# Setting Caps Lock Automatically

It is not a big deal, but I don’t like having to set caps each time I load the program (I rarely use lower case). Adjust line 8100.

```
8100 POKE 23730,255: POKE 23731,247: POKE 23658,8: IF PEEK 64268<>205 THEN LOAD ""CODE 63488,2046
```

If you will always be loading a master copy first as I described earlier you don’t need to make the above change, but if you sometimes use my SAVE A)11 routine then you will.

POKE 23658,8 can be used in any program to set caps. Use zero to set lower case. The same instruction can be inserted elsewhere if it suited you better (at start of line 100 it would reset caps each time you returned to the main menu.
