VMS Help DSR, DSR Flags, Lowercase  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    The Lowercase flag (\) causes the letter that directly follows it
    to appear in lowercase. The flag has no effect if the character
    following it is not a letter.

    The Lowercase flag can be paired as follows:

    o  With the Underline flag (\&) to stop underlining text.

    o  With the Bold flag (\*) to stop bolding characters.

    o  With itself (\\) to cause the characters following it to be
       printed in lowercase by default. If you have a file that is
       in all uppercase, you can put a paired lowercase flag (\\)
       at the beginning of the file and then, as needed, override
       the temporary lowercase default by using a circumflex (^) to
       capitalize the letter following it.
