Hi Gilles,

It's sometimes easy to forget that many folks could be looking over our 
shoulders.

I found the lower case 'b' more pleasing to my eye, but maybe we should just go 
with the strict IEC conventions.

That would mean changes to the program, the language template file and the man 
document too.

What do you think?

Jim
