in thread Using * character to open all Files in the directory

Right "'" is allowed, D'oh. TANJ. But there are still others. Who are we to say what the user should do? :-P But no, seriously "?" would probably be used quite often, what with the apparent trend of end users to put the file's contents in its name. "*" in filenames might be used to either draw attention to the file, or to make them harder to delete. If you type rmv -rf what\*ver you don't exactly expect whatever to go bye-bye...
