.  The superior wildcard capability of the 4dos DIR command make it look
like a good idea to do a WHEREIS file finder as a command alias. The
problem is to list out the full filespecs including the path. There
doesn't appear to be an option to DIR that lists the full filespec.

   Does anyone have any ideas on this? (I'm currently using a WHEREIS
utility that works fine but doesn't have 4dos's wildcarding - e.g., I
can't give WHEREIS *A*.COM and have it list only the files with 'A'
somewhere in the filename, as one could with 4dos.)
