  SET WILDCARD VMS    (default)

  Enables VMS wildcards for WILDCARD FIND. (Does not apply to wildcards in
  file names.)

  VMS wildcards include the percent sign (%) to match any single character
  on a line, the asterisk (*) to match any amount of text on a line, the
  backslash and right angle bracket (\>) to match end-of-line, and so on.

  Example:

     The following commands find strings like "Bat," "bet," "b t," or "BUT"
     at the end of a line:

        Command: SET WILDCARD VMS
        Command: WILDCARD FIND b%t\>

  Usage notes:

  o  The default wildcards depend on the system you are using---VMS or
     ULTRIX. If you want to use VMS wildcards on ULTRIX or conversely, put
     the relevant command in an initialization file (typically named
     EVE$INIT.EVE). See help on Initialization Files.

  o  For a list of the available wildcards, use SHOW WILDCARDS.

  o  On DECwindows, you can set VMS wildcards as follows:

        1.  Choose Set Wildcards from the Search menu or choose
            Search Attributes from the Customize menu.

        2.  Choose Set Wildcard VMS.
