 							*wildcard*
 Wildcards in {file} are expanded.  Which wildcards are supported depends on
 the system.  These are the common ones:
+	?	matches one character
 	*	matches anything, including nothing
-	?	matches one character
+	**	matches anything, including nothing, recurses into directories
 	[abc]	match 'a', 'b' or 'c'
+
 To avoid the special meaning of the wildcards prepend a backslash.  However,
 on MS-Windows the backslash is a path separator and "path\[abc]" is still seen
 as a wildcard when "[" is in the 'isfname' option.  A simple way to avoid this
 is to use "path\[[]abc]".  Then the file "path[abc]" literally.
 
+					*starstar-wildcard*
+Expanding "**" is possible on Unix, Win32, Mac OS/X and a few other systems.
+This allows searching a directory tree.  This goes up to 100 directories deep.
+Example: >
+	:n **/*.txt
+Finds files:
+	ttt.txt
+	subdir/ttt.txt
+	a/b/c/d/ttt.txt
+When non-wildcard characters are used these are only matched in the first
+directory.  Example: >

+Finds files:

+	/usr/include/sys/types.h

    Downward search uses the wildcards '*', '**' and possibly others

    they work on all operating systems.
