Fine for a one off fix, but if you're working with this all the time, 
be aware that the ksh has a
'typeset -L <varname> (and -l <varname>)
One forces lowercase the other left justifies - man ksh for which one 
is which; not on a Unix box at the moment so I can't check.
'typeset -U <varname>' (or '-u' - man ksh) forces uppercase.

typeset -L j
for i in 'ls /directory'; do
	j=$i
	echo $i $j
	.
	.
done
