Interestingly, you can see a file with "LISTF <filename>.<symbolic group
name>" but wildcards will not work with "LISTF @.<symbolic group name>".

Wildcards will work with listfile, like "LISTFILE ../<symbolic group
name>/@".

file equates to the symbolic name work fine.

Thanks to all at the most educational HP3000 list!
