Chris,

I tried 'ls' with double quotes. Here are examples.

	$ ls "*.c"
	ls: *.c: No such file or directory

	$ ls *.c
	coperationsfromfortran.c
	first-prime.c

Single quotes do not work any better.

About 'send-pr', I would like more input and confirmation form more people
that this is a good substitute to depth limited 'find'.

Thanks.
