>But what I cannot understand is that list is a command, if I wanted to list wildcards, sure, #? would be part of my option in the command line....but when the list command should list contents why does it suddenly rely on command line rules when it's supposed to simply print it out...is beyond me...must be a bug really.

Yes, it is a known and fixed big. This bug was fixed for List V43.3. From the official changelog: "Added a fix to avoid looping on "List ALL" with directory names that contain pattern matching characters."

Ie. the version provided in OS3.9 (and maybe OS3.5, haven't checked) doesn't have this bug. You must be using OS3.1 or some other obsolete version.
