  LERN2SHELL.  Try "echo /c/Doc*/Paul/App*/Moz*/Fire*/Pro*/*default/" to see if
you've actually got a real path there, or no matching path, or several matching
paths. Try stripping components off one by one and seeing which one you made a
mistake in.  The multiple expansions work just fine for me:

$ PS1="$ " pdksh
$ cd /cygdrive/c/Doc*/Adm*/App*/Moz*/Fire*/Pro*/*default/
$ pwd
/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/Administrator/Application
Data/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/bfwp4loc.default
$

  Also, LERN2BUGREPORT.  You told us all about how you feel, but completely
omitted the crucial detail of WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS when you try it.  Error
message?  No error message?  Boxing glove on a spring comes out of your computer
and punches you in the nose?

    cheers,
      DaveK
