Question: How and when can I use "wildcard"
characters in filenames?
Answer: You can use "wildcard" characters (the
asterisk and the question mark) as part of
filenames and their extensions from the Files
Menu during most commands that prompt you
to "Enter filename" - deleting files, marking or
unmarking files, getting file information, for
example. The marking and unmarking process is
available only in transmission of files with the
ymodem or kermit modem protocols. These
transmission options are available for the disk
drive, as well as for the serial port with the T-
CHORD command from the Files menu. The
asterisk and question mark must be entered in
computer Braille notation: DOTS 1-6 for the
asterisk, DOTS 1-4-5-6 for the question mark.
The asterisk replaces either the filename or the
extension portion of the name of a file; the
question mark replaces individual characters in
either the filename or extension portion of the
name of a file. Also, remember that the period
must also be in computer Braille (DOTS 4-6).
Here are two examples: Suppose you have five
files in your Braille Lite named "notes1",
"notes2", etc. and you want to work with them
as a group. At the "Enter filename" prompt, you
may write "notes" followed by a question mark
followed by an E-CHORD. All files that start with
the letters "notes" are affected. Now, suppose
you have several files that all have the
