   NOpe, just won't let you look at file.ext and look at .ext   
   when indicated by an env var.  Noticed this a couple times   
   over the years and found some sorta kludgy workarounds to   
   it, but thought I might be missing something.   
      
   Another place I was trying to do that one ...   
      
   My system stores the julian day number anyway.  ONly thing   
   is, nodelist updates happen next day utc here.  That's when   
   they arrive.   
   But, for other purposes, I store Julian day as environment   
   variable daynum.   
      
   SO trying to find out   
      
   if exist log.%DAYNUM% goto gotit   
   goto no   
   would send me branching to no as well.   
   Been there done that one .   
      
   Regards,
