Okay, what the heck kinda syntax does the search pattern use?

Wildmat.

Second Reply:

Oh, *that*. Y'know, I guess I never knew the name for that. :)

I almost said "globs", then I remembered what they are really called.

I'm pretty sure the first time I saw the term "wildmat" was in the
Xnews manual. You should read it too. ;)

Manual? What's that? Doesn't he do the lawn? :)

I confess I haven't read it in years. I've looked up stuff in it, but
not *read* it in ages.
