#help with commands

Is it possible to use wildcards with commands?
Like:
"dir spreadsheet.*" or
"dir spreadsheet.#?"
Just wondering.
Also, is there any way that you know of to re-select a path for a
down loading file once the down load has been initiated? I use JRcomm and
select CIS B+. Sometimes the first disk is full from a previous DL, and I
can't change disks "midstream".
Thnx
Steve
Steve,
You can use wildcards in getting directories. For instance, you could get
DIR DF0:FONTS/A#?
to get a list of the fonts whose names start with a
etc.
Don't think there is any possible way to redirect a download once it has
started. Before starting a download, flip to a CLI, and ask for INFO about
that disk:
INFO DF1: and make sure there is enough room left to hold the file you are
about to download. It will give the room left on blocks free. It takes two
blocks to hold 1K of data, but allow just a few extra blocks because there
is some overhead involved – not every byte stored on the disk is data.
