In case you haven't yet got your answer (which is unclear according to
the present state of this mail thread), I think that on Windows, Vim
does its own globbing (unlike on Unix where wildcards other than ** are
expanded by the shell). This means that wildcard expansion by Vim on
Windows is done according to Vim rules, which are perhaps more unixy
than what is customary on Windows. For instance, on Unix *.* doesn't
mean "anything at all" (as it does on Dos/Windows), it means "anything
with at least one actual dot in it". To get "anything at all", the Unix
wildcard is just *
Best regards,
Tony.

Learn something new today, like how to spell or how to count to
ten without using your fingers. Be careful dressing this
morning. You may be hit by a car later in the day and you
wouldn't want to be taken to the doctor's office in some of
that old underwear you own.
