I understand that, unlike UN*X, OS-9 does not allow file names
to contain wild card chracters like ? for any one char or * for
any number (incl zero) of any chars.  Soooo, you can't type:
	dir *.c
to locate all your C files on the current directory.
Now--has any outfit like Frank Hogg or whatever come out with
an add-on patch to add these valuable features to the shell?
I realize that these functions are non-trivial to implement;
in fact, the full UN*X regular expression search is MS in CS
thesis-level algorithm.  But anything would help.... mike k
