That is what's weird:  the tool's built-in "help/sample" function
clearly shows a wildcard but if I type it it doesn't work!
I enter 

	mcopy .d10 *.dsk /aux/scratch /b

Which says to GNO "run the MCOPY command, use device #10, take
everything that ends in .dsk, put it on volume AUX, folder
SCRATCH, and make it binary (no text CR/LF conversion). But it
doesn't work!  :(
