I've never used the IIgs MSDOS tools being discussed, but
if they originated from the same sources as the Unix MTOOLS
package, then they might supply a application-implemented
wildcard set.  Under Unix, you get this by quoting the wildcards
from the shell.  Try something like

	mcopy 'c:/dir1/*' 'c:/dir1/dir2/'
