If all that the *EX code does is jump to the *INFO code, then yes
you'll get an error, as '*INFO' is a bad command on most filing
systems. The syntax is:
 
*INFO <ambiguous filename>
*EX (<optional directory>)
 
For a DFS-like filing system, '*EX' translates to '*INFO *.*',
'*EX <dir>' translates to '*INFO <dir>.*'
 
You need code along the lines of:
 
.fsc9
JSR XYtoF2
LDA (&F2),Y
CMP #13:BNE ex_directory
LDX #fsc9_wild AND 255
LDY #fsc9_wild DIV 256
BNE fsc10
.fsc9_wild
EQUS "*.*":EQUB 13
