Hi,

The documentation for dired-guess-shell-alist-user 
is not clear about the use of * as a substitution character.

This is only mentioned in the dired node of the emacs info manual.

I suggest this is repeated on the dired-x manual or that something
like "see the dired node of the emacs manual for more info" is added
to this documentation.

Thanks.

Nobody is really maintaining dired-x now, or its
manual.  If someone wants to do this, please write to me.

Hi,

Sadly, I'm not good enough in english to maintain a manual.

But here's a diff for my particular point in the dired-x-manual.


Thanks!
