  Wow, never heard of that. I'd check the vimrc files in ~/.vimrc and /etc/vimrc

    It actually swaps the case;upper to lower and lower to upper.
    
    thanks for the info. Had a look and can not find anything.
    
    Will have to try other forums.

      Also check ~/.exrc and in particular, look for any macros involving the ~ character, which will swap the case of characters. I am wondering if some weird termcap entry is applying a ~ to the last character you enter...

      It seems unlikely a change that dumb could make it into Debian.
      
      But a bad termcap might be at fault.
      
      Just to check, though, when does it cap/uncap the character? When you hit ENTER? When you hit ESC? Is it possible you are hitting some character other than ESC? Often arrow keys and function keys, if not defined properly in your termcap, will just spit junk at vi. Like, if you type "i", then "hello", then hit ESC, do you end up with "hellO"?

        No, that is okay.
        will investigate further.
