Better still, at least as regards your argument:

X:\>copy con [a-c].txt
xx
^Z
         1 file(s) copied.

X:\>dir [a-c]*
  Volume in drive X has no label.
  Volume Serial Number is 0000-0000

  Directory of X:\

10/12/2002  03:27 PM                 4 [a-c].txt
                1 File(s)              4 bytes
                0 Dir(s)     192,708,608 bytes free

Alun.
