Patrick et al,
Thanks for the reference off-list.  I read the manual and found what I
had thought.

It states that a path ending without a slash will exclude the file or
directory of the name.  With a slash will exclude the directory.

Can anyone tell me if they've used slash-less entries for directories?
Is the documentation wrong and should only refer to files without a
trailing slash?

Thanks,
Jason
