*ACCESS TUNES.* L/
will give the access string L/ to all the files in your sub-
directory TUNES.
*ACCESS Z* WR/WR
will give the access string WR/WR to all your files that start with
a Z, however long those names are, and including a name that is
just Z.
Other uses for wildcards
You can use wildcards with other commands, but the effect will be
different. The command will not be carried out on all the files and
directories to which the ambiguous reference refers; it will be
carried out on whichever of those items has the name that comes
first in the alphabet. This is because it's impossible to carry out
these commands on more than one file at once: the system could
not, for example, load two programs simultaneously.
Type:
<command><reference>[RETURN]
EXAMPLES
