Subject: RE: Can't save... insufficient user rights (or, globbing, globbing, who's got the glob?)
Oops, typed one glob wrong. Change '.*k' to '.*k*' below.



And of course, those globs MIGHT match more than you wanted, so be
careful with your 'rm' command J

Mr kitepilot didn't finish the story, which is: "By convention, files
name '.something' are not shown in an 'ls' listing, nor do they match
file globbing on the command line unless you explicitly include the
leading period." (And I may have forgotten other places that leading
periods have an effect, but I think that's it)



Thus you would have matched .*lock* and .*k and .*lo* and even .~*
(assuming I am reading your filename right.)
