And, if in doubt, just replace the original command with "echo". This
will let you "see" what your command is going to see. I think it's a
good way to get a feeling of what's going on. Those examples are bash,
in its default setting:

  tomas@trotzki:~$ echo foo*
  foo foo.txt
  tomas@trotzki:~$ echo blarg*
  blarg*

Cheers
