General
Allow asterisk in pattern matching - clicking on this box sets the default behaviour for all DOS pattern matching functions to accept * as a synonym for the wildcard pattern #?.

Enable Assign-Mount - clicking on this box sets the default behaviour for any requests to access a non-existant volume or assignment to display a requester offering further options. This is normally set by default.
