I was also bothered by the fact that the UNIX man command could not
"do" its own wildcard expansion.  Thus, I could not "man *seek*" and find
out all the seek-like functions.  Let's hear it for program-driven
expansion with a standard library!!!


On a side note:
Why do file requestors all have rediculously (sp?) small name lists?
I have my screen open to 640x400 lines and most of my file requestors
show me 5-10 names at a time.  I can get 30-40 names at a shot with
a workbench display, and THAT is showing icons as well!   Golly! -- Darren
