C-x C-f *.txt RETpens all the .txt files in the working directory, running -q (no .emacs file loaded) on
"GNU Emacs 22.0.50.2 (i386-mingw-nt5.0.2195) of 2005-04-16 on LAPTOP"
I'm 99% sure this worked "out of the box" on the official 21.3.1 release as well. This does require there to actually be .txt files in the relevant directory though -- if there aren't any, emacs creates a file called "*.txt".
Can those of you complaining that it doesn't work try starting emacs with -q and double-check that it's not something in your .emacs breaking this functionality?

By including the question mark and happy face in your response,
do you mean to imply that C-x C-f *.txt RET will open all the
files in the CWD that have a TXT extension? Because it doesn't,
for me. What it does is open a new buffer called *.txt.
Then upon pressing C-x C-s, I get this (unsurprisingly):
basic-save-buffer-2: Opening output file: invalid argument,
c:/mypath/*.txt
For the curious, I'm running Win2K SP4. My Emacs version is
GNU Emacs 22.0.50.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.0.2195) of 2006-03-21 on YAMALOK.
But I've had this problem for several years, starting with WinNT SP3
and Emacs v20.3.
