I've never used the netrw's :Explore command before, but seeing
this, I read the help sections on pattern-searching and tried the
example from *netrw-starstar*. It doesn't seem to work. I'm using
Vim-7.0 and netrw v103 on SunOS 5.8.
$ cd /home/garyjohn/src/SunOS/vim-7.0/vim70/src
$ vim -N -u NONE
:runtime plugin/netrwPlugin.vim
:Explore **/*.c
E77: Too many file names
