Sam,
I hope to not have misunderstood what you said, but I have no problem at
all to rename files using wildcards: and this can done using both the Dos
command "ren" and the File Manager ("winfile"). And, if I correctly
remember, this was possible also with the previous versions of Dos.
Am I incorrectly interpreting your words?
