Okay, I've just been tracing through a.vim again and found that with a wildcard
in my search path the thing that fails is filereadable(), which doesn't seem to
expand the * despite what the help system says.
By changing all instances of filereadable(...) to filereadble(expand(...)) in
a.vim I can use simple wildcards, which nicely solves my problem!
Next question though, is the behaviour of filereadable not expanding the path a
bug? ":help filename" says it should expand, but a simple ":echo
filereadable("*")" fails on my machine. Is this dependant on some settings?

Keffin.
