It is likely the shell that imposes the limit.
When you type: xinteract *.pep.xml the shell expands that wildcard into the full list before feeding the list to xinteract. The shell has an inherent limit. xinteract does not. For this very reason, you can get xinteract to the globbing for you with: xinteract '*.pep.xml' This causes the wildcard to be passed to xinteract and it will resolve it for you. This has been used on over 35,000 pepXML files at once. It works.
