Subject: system.file(..) :  Any reason why it should not work with wildcards?
Message-ID: <199801141453.PAA03685@sophie.ethz.ch>

{BTW:  there's still no docu. for it}

Do you see any reason why
system.file() should not work with wildcards?

Currently, it just returns the first file found.
The obvious change to make would be to erase "; exit 0"
in RHOME/cmd/filename

-- If nobody objects, I'll do the change .. --
