There were link-libraries in 1.3 times to support them. It's not a feature of the A1200 to include wildcard support functions. These came into the dos.library with Kick 2.0 (v37), available for all machines. They have been integrated through the arp project.

None is needed. It's directly accessible in the RastPort. It's not related to the machine type.

It's more complicated to make them. CBM went cheap.

Err. No. Simply no.

From the shell? Oh, certainly. RequestFile, RequestChoice exist as files. ASK was updated to also retrieve strings.

That depends on the memory of the system. Besides... scrap Basic. Microsoft Basic was notoriously buggy.

Err, what? IconX just starts a regular shell. Of course it can use "If".

There is none because there is no resource tracking. See below.
