Although the Kermit doc.s clearly state that wild card characters '*' and '?'
are valid in specifing files for the "send" command, I can't seem to get the
following to work:

  1.  send *.c    
      
      This either complains that there are no files matching the template,
      or has been observed to come up with a filename derived from an existing
      filename, only with the 1st three letters truncated.  Note that 
      "dir *.c" works as expected.

  2.  the '?' seems impossible to use as a wildcard character, for whenever
      and wherever it gets typed, the context-sensitive help facility kicks
      in and does its thing.

Has anyone else observed this?  Are these bona-fide bugs, or am I just crazy?
