TREE does not appear to support ranges

[Lewis Rosenthal]

Contrary to what the help claims, the TREE command does not seem to support ranges for inclusion or exclusion.

{0}[j:\devel\arcaos\trunk\media\common\cid\server\mmos2\drivers] tree /[USB*] .
SYS0003: The system cannot find the path specified. "J:\[USB*]"

Likewise:

SYS0003: The system cannot find the path specified. "J:\[!USB*]"

Specifying the full path also does not work:

{0}[j:\devel\arcaos\trunk\media\common\cid\server\mmos2\drivers] tree /[!J:\devel\arcaos\trunk\media\common\CID\SERVER\MMOS2\DRIVERS\USB*] .
SYS0003: The system cannot find the path specified. "/[!J:\devel\arcaos\trunk\media\common\CID\SERVER\MMOS2\DRIVERS\USB*]"

Dot-prefixed paths fail similarly:

{0}[j:\devel\arcaos\trunk\media\common\cid\server\mmos2\drivers] tree /[.\USB*] .
SYS0003: The system cannot find the path specified. "J:\[.\USB*]"

"Directory" exclude lists are not supported by 4OS2. This is an enhancement request. Consider for directory syntax use a trailing/or\

[Lewis Rosenthal]

Ah, so include and exclude ranges are currently only useful with the tree command when specifying the /F option to display filenames.

Indeed, as I am working on enhancing and updating the help text, this is good information to have. I never stopped to consider this distinction before, instead assuming that "a name was a name" in the context of ranges.
