Wildcards with DIR and File Find

In addition to the usual wildcards for doing such things as a DIR or File Find,

new options are available with Windows95. The following are a few examples:

COM - All files and folders that have COM in the extension
*ABC* - All files and folders with ABC somewhere in the name
*ABC - All files with ABC as the last characters in the name (no including the extension)
*ABC? - All files with ABC as the second to last characters in the name
?ABC* - All files and folders with ABC as the second through the fourth letters in a name
?ABC? - All files and folders with at least one letter before and after the ABC
