A quick correction:
* 5) Unlike UNIX we don't pattern match directories.
* There are some good reasons for this, I just can't remember

Should say:
* 5) Unlike UNIX we don't allow patterns to match directories.
* E.g. work:adventure/advent.f is a valid file on our system.
* echo work:ad*re/ad*f would print work:adventure/advent.f,
* whereas, echo work:ad*re would print (!.rexx would print, BTW)
* No match.
* There are some good reasons for this, I just can't remember
* them right at the moment :-).
