Thanks much.  that was in the direction I'm getting at.  So "*" in
Linux= "*.*" in windows.  Now where would I go to read about all the
other equivalents like these.  Like for example I want to write a
nautilus script that opens a selected folder w/ root access, (I already
have the script that does this but I want to learn to create them
myself) but I want to know how I would specify on the command line "run
command X with whatever I have my mouse on" in a script.  Then of course
I'll store the script in my script's folder and be able to use what my
mouse has selected as the arguments for the script.  Like "%2" in
windows.


Patience yields far greater results than brute force or rage ever could
so relax......it's just life !!!
