English Amiga Board - View Single Post - How to select a filename "$file.$$" from shell?

Installed http://m68k.aminet.net/package/util/boot/ShellUpdate by THOR, and when I try a delete nothing appears under SnoopDos (!!) and shell now simply says:

Code:

[3.Workbench:] del $file.$$ 
object name invalid

A funny and mysterious bug... it all depends on the final .$$ as far as I can see. A file SYS:$file is ok to list and delete.
I know <$$> in a script represents the CLI process number under AmigaDOS.
