Wildcards
Talk about a whole group of files at once.
The * is a wildcard meaning "anything at all". *.TXT means "every file whose type is TXT", so one short command can talk about a whole group of files.
It works on the other side of the dot too: HELLO.* means "every file called HELLO, whatever its type". A dot in an 8.3 name really does split it into two halves, and a wildcard can stand in for either.
With a wildcard and a folder name, one COPY moves every text file at once, and counts them for you. This is where wildcards start to earn their keep.
