Command.com and other programmes that come with OpenDOS could also be
modified to handle the asterisk wildcard properly. Currently, it matches
all characters up to the end of the file name or extension, regardless of
whether or not any characters are specified after the asterisk. This
anomaly should be corrected. Also, it should be possible to match entire
sets of characters, for example by giving the expression:
chapter[1-9].txt
If I recall correctly, this feature is available in software compiled with
DJGPP.

Already, OpenDOS has extensive command line editing facilities. Perhaps
file name completion could be added as well, or is this asking for too
much?
