MEL: the 'group' command is different from 'Group' ? Capital letters make a difference?

I was trying to figure out why my script wasn't working correctly, and I tracked it down to 'group' being different from 'Group'.  Looks like 'Group' is called when I perform a group operation in the editor. 

 

The editor 'Group' command uppercase creates a group with the pivots (local and world) at the origin, whereas 'group' has the pivots (I think) at the center of the grouped object?   It looks like the editor spits out a whole bunch of stuff when I do a group, so it's hard to see what command I need to do to get the same results via Mel.  Anyone know?

Please disregard - I was able to fix it just by manually setting the pivot after I do a normal 'group' mel call...
