Well it's about due!  I personally HATE the #? qualifier.  Boy what a
wierd combination.  It's only like UNIX and the IBM world (billions and
billions by Carl Sagan) users use the STANDARD * wildcard.
 
Jeesh...Why didn't Commodore support the !@#$%^&* wild card instead.  We
all love enteringin the oodles of characters to represent an entity
represented by * everywhere else.
