Huh?  Inasmuch as the file system can be accessed, and case-sensitivity 
observed, without a command interpreter, I don't see why you are 
dragging the command interpreter into it.

There are lots of other things on a computer besides the file system 
that might or might not be case-sensitive, and you may even have trouble 
working with a case-sensitive file system if those things are not.  But 
I don't see how that's relevant here, where it's the case-sensitivity of 
the file system that is at issue.
