Hi David,

Yes, it was redundant.  I wanted to see if the syntax crashed.
I also set up a bunch of wine-1.7.xx directories to see if
they too would be left alone.

When I tried the expansion in the rsync string, it did not
work, so I went back to just

      --exclude='wine-*'

-T

Sweet examples.  Thank you!

I don't know if it is just me but I can have thins
explained to me for hours and not get it, but show
me an example and I am off to the races.  I guess
it is just different ways different folks learn.
