Nope, it's clear as a bell now. Thank you very much; it's my first
encounter with Mac wildcards, and it's about time.

Having come up through CP/M and MSDOS, where ? and * were all there was, I
remember being thoroughly thrown by wildcards in Amigados (a jolly nice
OS), where "del *.bak" became "del #?.bak". I never actually owned an
Amiga, but I had to do a review of Protext on it, writing macros and
thinking "Hash-question mark? Jeez, is there life on Mars?"

Thanks again.

Peter
