Hello Vernon,

When using a case-insensitive file system (e.g., QSYS) the shell expects
wildcard expansions to be in UPPER case.

tail *.MBR will work as expected - but not for externally described PFs as
we've all just learned.

I've tried looking for a description of the poxy return codes from the
QSHELL utilities (e.g., 001-0023, 001-0072, etc.) but can't find it in the
QSHELL Interpreter information in the CD InfoCenter, nor in the QSHELL
Interpreter Reference PDF, nor in the QSHELL Interpreter zip file of HTML
files (which incidentally don't have the toolbox.htm supposed start file
nor any other file I could find that seemed a start file -- doesn't anyone
TEST this stuff before they ship it.  This crap is hard enough without our
job being made more difficult by incompetence.).

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
