                               EXPAND


 SYNOPSIS
 expand wildcard
 expand "template" wildcard ...

 DESCRIPTION
 The EXPAND program will generate a file list based on one or more
 wildcard patterns.  If you specify only a single argument it should be
 a wildcard pattern.  If you specify more then one argument then the
 first argument MUST be template for formatting the output.

 The template currently supports:

 * standard characters

 * %s (replaced with the filename, up to 10 occurances)

 * %% (replaced with a single '%'), use when you need a '%'
   character so as not to confuse the template

 For example:

 1> expand S:#?
 startup-sequence
 user-startup
 ...
 1> expand "hello %s %s" S:#?
 hello startup-sequence startup-sequence
 hello user-startup startup-sequence
 ...
 1>
