You're kidding, right?

The point of the SELECT command is to select a group of files from a
list which (usually) contains more than the ones you want for a command
to process.

If you don't need to select a particular group of files, why do you need
the SELECT command at all?  Just use the command on your (*.something)
files and you'll get the same effect as selecting them all.

I would have thought that was obvious - maybe you've been using 4DOS too
much and forgot how the basic commands work.... :-)
