Welp, I just got my new 3000. The machine is great. However, for someone used to the ARP command set, I was not too impressed by the supposedly enhanced C: commands. You can't even CD to a wildcard... Anyway, I saw mention on c.s.a a while back that said 2.0's pattern matching could be set to accept `*' to mean `#?'. However, I haven't seen antything along these lines in the manual. Can someone point me in the right direction? Also, the drive mask is supposed to be $fffffffe, correct? I couldn't remember if it was that or the other way around $..ffc. What is the best way to get rid of drive clicking on the 3000? Most of this would really be better responded to in E-Mail.

Sure you can; however, if there's more than one possible target the CD fails. (rather than take whichever one it found first) > >Also, the drive mask is supposed to be $fffffffe, correct?

Best if it ends with a C (longword alignment, rather than word alignment) -- andy finkel {uunet|rutgers|amiga}!cbmvax!andy Commodore-Amiga, Inc. "Of course it's the murder weapon.
