So the user can specify the environment variables to use the file names. We use ${dired} for the replacement of `?'; and ${DIRED} for the replacement of `*'. Prepend "export dired=...; export DIRED=...;" to the command line given from the user. So the user can use following command line to invoke uuencode: uuencode ${dired} ${dired} > ${dired}.uu Of couser the variable name should be customizable. We don't have to remove `*' and `?' replacement; the old method and new method can live together. Masatake
