Martin, I agree.. there are times that expansion by the shell can get in the way. We're working on a new shell for OS9, and one of the things we've done is allow a switch (-w) at the beginning of a line to stop expansion. You could of course also quote the ? * chars, but this provides another method. I like the choice.
