It's just this simple:On unix machines, i constantly type dir and gets a 
?command not found.(I DON'T want alis dir ls )
On my amiga, i typed ls -l and used to get errors. (I use csh and ls4.1jr now)
The only real problem is these reflexes, the previous poster mentioned. It
takes an effort to adjust between different machines, and this is most of
the reason I now can use * and type ls -l at home. So I don't think * is
better or worse than #?. What is worse is to type the wrond command and press
return.
