I am renaming a page in my site to eliminate capital letters. What is the
easiest way to redirect users who may have set the previous address as their
homepage or is their a command that will make it read the page and ignore the
capitol letters?
 
Capitalization of a DOMAIN doesn't matter. Capitalization of a PAGE
title does matter if you're on a Linux or Unix server -- doesn't matter
on an NT/2000/2003 server.

You can do it more than one way, Finger Tips.

Easiest is probably to add this to the <head>... </head> section of a
page with the old capitalized title:

<META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="10;
URL=http://www.yourdomain/newlowercasepage.htm">

Alternatively, if your host allows an .htaccess file, you can use a 301
redirect:

Redirect 301 /oldpage.html http://www.yoursite.com/newpage.html or
Redirect permanent /oldpage.html http://www.yoursite.com/newpage.html

(If you are on an MS server, neither is necessary.)

On a Unix server filenames, for example "CAPS", "Caps", or "caps" are
different things as far as *nix is concerned they would be different file
names.

Under a Windows server it won't matter, but I think lower case looks neater.
