    DESCRIPTON
            The asteriks may be used as an escape character to 
        allow you to insert quotation marks and other asteriks 
        in a filename. For this to work, you must place an
        asteriks infront of any quotation mark or asteriks you
        wish to include in the filename.

            It may also represent the console device that's 
        currently active. For instance, if you wish to output 
        everything typed into the current CLI (ei the active 
        console device) to the printer or to a text file, you can 
        use the asteriks.

            2.x/3.x ONLY: You may use the asterisk as a wildcard 
        (as in MSDos). But this may only be done if turned on by 
        some external software.

   
     EXAMPLES

        1) To create a file called:  "ESCOM" Rules Amiga!   
           From a file called: "Commodore" Blew It!

     copy from "*"Commodore*" Blew It" to "*"ESCOM*" Rules Amiga!"

        2) To create a file called: "9*Fingers"
           From a filed called: *Nine Fingers

     copy from "**nine fingers" to "*"9**Fingers*"  
     
         note: Notice how the command line from file has all
               lower case letters and the file sitting on the
               disk has two capital letters in it. The CLI does
               not see the case of the character, so the 
               command will work just fine.

        3) To print out everything that shows up in the current 
           CLI:

     copy * TO prt:

        4) To copy everything that shows up in the current CLI to
           a file name 'work:What_I_Did':

     copy * to Work:What_I_Did
       

        note: To stop copying to 'Work:What_I_did' you must press
              the ctrl-\ key combination.
