I am using A3000/25/50 with KS 36.207 and WB 36.69 after loading an upgrade
disk to my original system files. I noticed that after I put the monitors
icons in the monitor drawer from the monitor store drawer, the pal and 
multisync monitors were not loaded when I user screenmode in prefs . I
double click the pal icon and it works. So I futher discovered that the
line in the startup-sequence which loaded the monitor icons was not working.
So I tried it on a Shell and I found out that the pattern matching using
 ~ (tilda) for all but in the line

list ~#?.info ; which should list all but .info files

it doesn't work, and using with dir gives me not found result!
I remember I've seen it work in my local dealer's A3000, and I got an update
version now. Am I missing some upgrade?

For any of you using 2.0 , try this: dir ~#?.info in a Shell.
How can I get this bug fixed? I got my A3000 just in Jan 90.

please post it here so others would know, but if you know the answer, I
would thank you for sending me an e-mail very much.

thanks in advanced,
David
