ToggleWildCard.doc:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This Program can be started up in your Workbench WBStartup drawer,
or your user-startup file, to allow DOS to accept asterisk as a wild card
character instead of the default #? pattern. For Compatiblity with Amiga
DOS applications, a single * is not sufficient, you need to use at least
2 characters such as: a*, b*, c*, or ** when you use the asterisk wildcard.
(A single asterisk is used by AmigaDOS to mean the current console.)
Examples:
-------------------------------
10.System2.0:C> togglewildcard
10.System2.0:C> dir a*
AddBuffers Assign
Avail
10.System2.0:C> copy ** Commands QUIET
