Hi-

I'm running GNU Emacs 18.57 on an Ultrix system...  I'm trying to figure
out how to do something like (for example):

	C-x C-f input*.c

with the intent being to read in all files of the form input<anything>.c
-- akin to having typed "emacs input*.c" in the first place.  I've seen
people do this in vi (not that I like vi, _at all_, mind you -- I'm an
emacs devotee through and through :-)).  What happens when I try it from
emacs is that emacs assumes that I intended for the * character to be
part of the filename, then tells me that input*.c is a new file & sticks
me into an empty buffer named input*.c.  I realize that I could do C-x d
to get into dired, and (from there) visit the relevant files on a
file-by-file basis.  This seems a little cumbersome, though --
especially when I know that I'm going to want to edit them all, in turn,
anyway.

Does anybody have any idea how to do this?

Am I missing something really fundamental here?

Thanks!
John
