I agree.
Nevertheless I was not satisfied with the behaviour of the meta characters.
To get rid of my EMACS backup files I typed (as usual under ARP 1.2)
delete *~
and all files in the current directory got deleted. Very bad indeed.
---
Of course, I knew that "~" is a meta character but I thought it would lose its
special meaning at the end of a regular expression as it's a prefix char...
(The fix is of course to quote the tilde...)
Is this the last word on meta character behaviour?
