Hi Samuel

Well, very much on Glenn's path, I'd add just something:

There ARE some good ol' apps for DOS that doesn't allow you to use wildcards
at their command line...

On those times, you can always use "for", just as follows (imagine "find" were
one of those):

c:\>for %f in (*.mes *.txt *.c my_fil*.*) do find "hello world" %f

within the brackets you place the spec. for every file you'd like to use
with the command,place <ENTER> and... voil�!! Automagically DOS replaces
the name of every file that meets one of the wildcards spec. and inserts it
where the "%f" goes... it's good, indeed!! and very fast, also...
