Indeed. Also, Gregory, don't expect anything to work directly. Programming
is mostly an iterative process where you write just a little bit of code
before you have to stop to fix a host of bugs. Repeat until you have
something that almost does what you intended...

Gregory introduced himself as a university lecturer, so I tacitly assumed
that he had seen a shell window on a linux box or a mac, and would
appreciate if he could use something familiar (globbing) in a new
environment (python).
I make similar assumptions about questioners' skills level all the time --
and sometimes fail in a big way ;)
