>I've been hearing alot about the * = #? option of the 2.0 OS. Something about > setting a bit somewhere, and Voila! you can now use * for a #?. How? The problem with *=#? is one I am dealing with in a program and is one of my gripes with #? in general. #? isn't quite like * because #? requires at least one charecter. So if I have a dir like: Program Program.c Program.o Program.info Progranny If I want all the files for Program, I cant do "dir Program#?" because I wont match Program. On the otherhand if I do "dir Progra#?" its a kludge because I have to keep from typing the last char, and I might get files I don't care about, like Progranny. (I realize this is a dumb example, but it makes my point). -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mark Gooderum Only... \ Good Cheer !!!
