Hi there,

Regarding AmigaDOS/CLI......

If directories and/or filenames contain especially characters like ? and *, the "list all" command repeats forever...... example of dir structure:

hest? [Dir]
frosk
disk?.info
disk*.info

issue a command like
"list ALL"

repeats the listing forever with "hest?".....nothing else will be shown. It basically stops at ? and *, possibly other chars too.

How to solve this? Escape character or something?
