EVE SET_WILDCARD_VMS — VMS 5.5

 SET WILDCARD VMS

 (Default.)  Enables VMS wildcards for WILDCARD FIND.

 VMS wildcards (sometimes called "meta-characters") include the percent
 sign (%) to match any single character on a line, the asterisk (*) to
 match any amount of text on a line, and the backslash and right angle
 bracket (\>) to match end-of-line.

 Example:

    The following commands find strings like "Bat," "bet," "b t," or "BUT"
    at the end of a line:

       Command: SET WILDCARD VMS
       Command: WILDCARD FIND b%t\>

 The setting applies in all buffers, but is not saved in a section file or
 command file.
