  SET WILDCARD ULTRIX

  Enables ULTRIX wildcards for WILDCARD FIND. (Does not apply to wildcards
  in file names.)

  ULTRIX wildcards include the period (.) to match any single character on a
  line, the dollar sign ($) to match end-of-line, the caret or circumflex
  (^) to match start-of-line, and so on.

  Example:

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

        Command: SET WILDCARD ULTRIX
        Command: WILDCARD FIND b.t$

  Usage notes:

  o  The default wildcards depend on the system you are using---VMS or
     ULTRIX. If you want to use ULTRIX wildcards on VMS or conversely, put
     the relevant command in an initialization file (typically named
     EVE$INIT.EVE). See help on Initialization Files.

  o  For a list of the available wildcards, use SHOW WILDCARDS.

  o  On DECwindows, you can set ULTRIX wildcards as follows:

        1.  Choose Set Wildcards from the Search menu or choose
            Search Attributes from the Customize menu.

        2.  Choose Set Wildcard Ultrix.
