The command strings described thus far require the record length to be explicitly marked _as_ the record length because the numbers in question are the PETSCII character codes for the DOS wildcards '*' and '?'. I'm further surprised that the wildcards stop working if the drive number is explicitly prefixed. I vaguely recall that asking for a directory listing gives different responses for "[drivenumber]:$" as opposed to just "$"; maybe that is related?
