Hi! I've now got a copy of the eagerly awaited little hack, named "starburst", which allows '*' wildcards under WB2.0. But on my machine it doesn't do anything. What am I doing wrong?

Apparently, with the starburst prg you must include at least one character: i.e. s* or file*, I can make "dir *" work either..... but "dir t*" works fine. Duane
