| 308.1 | allowed on entities | TOOK::HAO |  | Thu Sep 06 1990 10:01 | 6 | 
|  |     Full instance wildcarding on entities is allowed by FCL, regardless
    of what the datatype is.  Partial instance wildcarding is only allowed 
    on those entities whose instance datatype supports wildcarding.

| 308.2 | instance wildcards | GOSTE::CALLANDER |  | Thu Sep 06 1990 12:33 | 15 | 
|  |     The SRM might not do a good job of it, but the next version of the
    SRM clarifies it.
    
    The wildcarding rules listed in the data types chapter are specific
    to the data type. In addition to these rules further explainations
    have been added to explain the entity wildcard (for full instance
    wildcarding) is independent of the data type. To support this the
    wildtype parameter was added to the AES routines so that this type
    of information could be encoded regardless of datatype and identifier.
    
    But note that this is only for FULL instance wildcarding. If you
    want to do partial wildcarding on an entity instance, then the
    wildcarding rules specified for the identifiers data type DO apply.

                Is this true for DECwindows too?
    
    		How is the information passed to the MM?  Do the AES calls
    		support wildcarding for any datatype and are there
    		other implications of support that is missing because the
    		datatype itself does not support wildcarding?
    
    		thanks,

| 308.4 | wildcarding==multi selections in map | TOOK::CALLANDER | MCC = My Constant Companion | Mon May 11 1992 15:22 | 3 | 
|  |     wildcarding in the map is done through explict multiple icon
    selections. So the internal premise is a bit different.
