	I much prefer the Amiga's pattern matching abilities over the
traditional * route, But what I think is sorely missed in the Amiga Shell
is file completion.   I think the most valuable thing about the shells I use
on Unix is File Completion!  That feature saves an incredible amount of typing,
and extraneous ls'ing.
