The Asterick (*), as a single search term, is considered a wildcard,
 meaning all lines of the file will be 'found' and displayed.

 The Asterick (*), when used as part of a search term means anything 
 following is selected automatically. An example: gfx* will find any
 line with gfx and will highlight any characters following gfx. It
 would look like this: 

 Videotracker2.lha   gfx/misc   395K+Let graphics react to sound

 Another example: gfx*n will search for gfx and will highlight until
 it finds an "n".

 picmerge.lha     gfx/conv 11K+Little utility for connecting 2

 "*" will find anything enclosed in double quotes.

 "* will find the first quote mark in a line but highlighting will 
 not occur.

 * and Whole Word will not work. The terms are too vague for GAWK to 
 interpret.

 The Asterick follows the UNIX rules of the Period. Using an Asterick
 can result in unexpected highlighting results. We recommend you use
 caution for this reason.
