Have you looked at upper() in the help files?
keypress = wait_key()
keypress = upper(keypress) -- convert it all to uppercase
if equal(word,"WORD") then whatever end if

The best way is to read the entire help file, memo yourself the words you are
most likely to use, and look thru source code that does things you are
interested in. I have found refman.chm to be quite useful too. To find
instances of the keywords in use, do simple word searches for them in your
Eu directory. And experiment, try things. Don't answer "yes" to the question
"Do you want to play Thermonuclear War?", but anything else should be
safe.... except for file manipulation..... ymmv.
