1) I'm not sure what you mean by "real" DOS or DOS in the shell. Do you
mean DOS in a window vs. booting to DOS?
2) I have never found '*' in the begining to work. That is, I have not
found "dir *w.dll" to work, although "?w.txt" will work.
3) Other things I have found difficult to predict is the behavior with
files with multiple dots (e.g. "file.txt.bak", "file.*.bak" does not
seem to work.)
