Lower case/upper case problems

Ok..this seems like it shouldn't be that hard to figure out but I'm confused
anyway.
How can I make sure that whatever case a file is created with is what's
shown in NT explorer?
Let me explain:
If I create a file in all uppercase on my unix file system (which is also a
samba share) it shows up as a mixed case file within NT explorer, with only
first letter capitalized. (Normally I would never create an all uppercase
file on a unix file system anyway...but it's not my application that's
wanting to use all uppercase. Don't ask...).
So I create the file "TEST.TXT" on Unix. On Unix I execute an "ls" command
to verify that this file was created with all uppercase letters. I then go
to NT explorer and browse this file. It shows up as "Test.txt". However if
I create an all uppercase file on this share from NT Explorer (using
"File-->New-->Text File"), it remains all upper case both on NT explorer and
on unix.
I know this must have something to do with "preserve case" or "mangeled
case" or "short perserve case" or "WHATEVER case". But for the life of me
I can't figure out which option controls this.
Please help! Thanks.....
