Subject: M-x grep prompt: fill in the * for us
Date: Thu, 19 Jun 2003 02:18:09 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87fzm7ntb2.fsf@jidanni.org> (raw)

How about when prompting for M-x grep,
    Run grep (like this): grep -n -e
You instead prompt with
    Run grep (like this): grep -n -e X *
with the cursor placed where I've put the X
because otherwise we often forget to fill in the *,
which is often what we want.
