The example given in the doc of this posting works
fine so long as one is in a subdirectory; however
it fails if the default directory is root.

If the default directory is root, then the
syntax has to be:   glob "/*\.(COM|EXE|BAT)"
which, BTW, will produce the desired information
for the root of the default disk drive regardless
of whether the current directory is the root 
directory or any of its subdirectories.

Is the action of the doc example by design?
