Case sensitive

I've written a game where I need the accepted answer to be case sensitive, and I can't figure out how to do it.  There must be an easy way but I can't figure it out.  I teach chemistry and the game I am creating is for naming and formula writing.  I want the program to differentiate an answer like "NaBr" (correct) from "nabr" (incorrect), but as it is right now, it gives credit for both.  any suggestions???

Re: Case sensitive

From what I've seen in previous posts, there was an older version of scratch which was case senistive.  Is it possible to download an older vesion and see?  (or is it only sharable in the newest format?)

I can't believe that a program that is as versatile as scratch could not accomodate a request like case sensitivity...

Text capabilities were only added to Scratch in the last couple of releases...they are still pretty rudimentary.  Sorry but I am not aware of any way to treat text in a case sensitive fashion.
