Generally, a new option is not a good way to accomplish this, as an option has global effects and can cause other parts of the code to malfunction. Back in the old, old days, there was a program named "glob" that did pathname expansions. So you wouldn't say cat * you'd say cat $( glob * ) where glob would get one argument, "*", and output a list of file names. A glob-by-modification-date program would be a better solution for this need, IMHO. Dale
