Dear Listreader,

I am not sure, how to write a generell aap-rule. I have a
inputfile x.in that sould be transformed to x.out. For the
sake of simplicity let's assume that the tranformation is
a sed step.

So I have this aap rule:

------------------
x.out : x.in
        :sys sed -e "s,e,X,g" <$source  >$target
------------------

This works fine. Now my question: how do I generalize
this rule for file x.in to any file that ends with a ".in"?

@bram: I cant find this in the manual, but I will make up
a documented example for the documentation - if you like.
