Another way to avoid depleting available keys is is to assign all of the
wildcards to a single key. This can be done with WILDCARD.PM, which is
included in SmartSet. WILDCARD can be RUN directly from a key, LDPM'd to
a Save/Get assigned to a key, or (most efficiently) LOADed as a U2 frame
and mapped to a key with nn=NOXHJM(,2,.,w,i,l,d,c,a,r,d,). Puts all 21
wildcard characters at your fingertips, and takes up but a single key.
