Yes, PLAIN: only works on the right hand side of an alias. On the left hand side you can use regular expressions. Try FILEEXCLUDE REGEXP:\* (Actually, that will exclude anything with a star in it. To exclude filenames which are only "*" use FILEEXCLUDE REGEXP:^\*$ -- the ^ and $ are beginning-of-string and end-of-string markers). -- Stephen Turner, Cambridge, UK http://homepage.ntlworld.com/adelie/stephen/ "The question of whether a computer can think is no more interesting than the question of whether a submarine can swim."
