    <h2>EDITED</h2> <p>In short - by definition the DIR command works as you're implying so it's one of those "by design" things.</p> <p>From Microsoft on the <a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc755121%28v=ws.10%29.aspx" rel="nofollow">DIR</a> command directly. This explanation is a bit more winded than the below from the .NET framework.</p> <p>From <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/wz42302f.aspx" rel="nofollow">MSDN</a> on the .NET Framework Implementation</p> <blockquote> <p>When using the asterisk wildcard character in a searchPattern, such as "<em>.txt", the matching behavior when the extension is exactly three characters long is different than when the extension is more or less than three characters long. A searchPattern with a file extension of exactly three characters returns files having an extension of three or more characters, where the first three characters match the file extension specified in the searchPattern. A searchPattern with a file extension of one, two, or more than three characters returns only files having extensions of exactly that length that match the file extension specified in the searchPattern. When using the question mark wildcard character, this method returns only files that match the specified file extension. For example, given two files, "file1.txt" and "file1.txtother", in a directory, a search pattern of "file?.txt" returns just the first file, while a search pattern of "file</em>.txt" returns both files.</p> </blockquote>

    2. COWhile your link certainly appears relevant, it's not obvious that a .NET Framework reference would necessarily document the behavior of `cmd.exe`.

    3. CO@jjlin Right you are, though they are effectively interchangable because Microsoft needed to implement it consistently with their OS, I have updated the answer with a more direct link to the DIR command. I have no included a quote however because the explanation is more complex and winded.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
