Whilst that may be true of the HP version of QUAD its not true of other 
versions (of which there seem to be many).

For example the HP version for LIST:

     The List command lists a range of lines.

     The format is

         List Range [Offline] [Header] [Unnumbered] [Truncate]

Whilst a QUEST/SRN version has CASE NONLIT and WILDCARD options on LIST, 
FIND, CHANGE

     The List command lists a range of lines.

     The format is

         List Range [Offline] [Header] [Unnumbered] [Truncate]
           [Case] [Nonlit] [Wild]

So the QUEST version given :L A I"mpe" will by default list any line 
containing the string in any case combination unless CASE is specified, 
whereas the HP version can only show lines containing the exact match.

It is therefore wise to check what version of QUAD you are using 
especially when logging on to a different HP3000 than you do normally.

All "QUAD's" are not equal :-)
