Dir
[-]FOO??.A?M A ? is a single character wild card and the "[-]" says
search the directory level above the current one.
Sorry, Allison, the single character wildcard in VMS is %. $ dir *.?
%DCL-W-PARMDEL, invalid parameter delimiter - check use of special characters
\?\
I was thinking this might be a Alpha thing, so I just tried it on both a
VAX and a Alpha, with both running V7.2. Didn't work on either for me
either. Out of curiuosity what verion are you running Allison? Looks like
it might be a version thing.
