Thanks. That worked.

I will now use:	set -o braceexpand

The man page has documentation for brace expand in at least four different 
places. So I will probably work on that.

Next I need to figure out PR 34724
http://www.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=34724

I have ${PWD} in my PS1 so long current directories make it so I can't 
even see what I am typing. It is very inconvenient.
