Nothing, because the file is hidden. There's a total of one file visible there, and if I try a similar partial on that, it returns it. At home(), sys(2000, "*x*.*") returns dataexplorer.app,then on next call sys(2000, "*x*.*",1) returns dv_foxhelp.chm, dw15.exe, fox.bmp etc etc. Works as expected, almost - except dw15.exe isn't supposed to be there at all. That's pretty much we suspected: a *x*.* doesn't care whether the x is found in the stem or the extension.

So, if they've fixed it after 20+ years, they still haven't got it right :).
