Hi Clark,

put the following line into your .bashrc:

shopt -s nocaseglob

It is nearly the same in bash, besides it doesn't
search the current directory unless you tel it to do so.
You have an environment variable named PATH (upper case!),
whose elements are separated by ":" instead of ";" as in
DOS. Each element represents a directory, which is searched
for executables.

touch //d/*
