Greetings;

I have misplaced file someplace in /home/gene.
its name is bpim5*shelf.scad
As usual it outputs 100,000 filenames, none of which is the one I am 
looking for. How in heck do you shut this thing up so it only spits out 
/the/path/to/the/file its looking for it it even found it?

And where do I put that as an alias, in my .bashrc?

Cheers, Gene Heskett, CET.
