i know things like "cat *lst|wc", but i don't want to type them. when i try to use wildcards with "<" or ">" in /bin/sh, it fails: my input (only one file with this name exists in the current dir): wc <*lst /bin/sh's output: cannot open *lst: No such file or directory is there a way to configure /bin/sh for "more/better" expansion? btw, with csh it works fine ;-)
