A bit of explanation for those who don't know (or care) about XenixNet.
Xenixnet files have the following syntax: //hostname/dir1/dir2/file. In our
particular case, we have two machines, mrspoc and guinan, running XenixNet.
This allows easy access to both systems.

In bash 1.02:

bash$ cd //guinan		<--- go over to guinan
bash$ echo $PWD
//guinan			<--- so far so good.
bash$ cat etc/M-?		<--- Now, I want to see what's in etc, so M-?

Bash ding()s at me and no files are displayed.

bash$ cd //guinan
bash$ ls
News/        bin/         boot         boot.old     db/          dev/
dos          etc/         lib/         lost+found/  mnt/         once/
shlib/       tmp/         u/           u2/          u3/          users/
usr/         wmgr.rc      xenix*       xenix.good   xenix.old*
bash$ ls *
* not found
bash$ cat etc/motd		<--- Now, cat guinan's /etc/motd

	Welcome to 10 Forward
	How May Guinan Serve You?

bash$

Note that the ls shows the right list, but the 'ls *' does not work.
I haven't looked at the source to figure out what the cause is yet.
