Well, I have yet to come across a file with those characters in a filename myself, and I've been using 4DOS successfully for 2 years now and it uses the [] chars for wildcards. Wordperfect 5.1 had filenames with "{" and "}" in them, although I hope that they've abandoned this in newer versions since those characters would also be nice to use. Mike A.
