Then why does
do shell script "ls -ld D*"
return
"-rw-r--r-- 1 root admin 73728 May 12 20:51 Desktop DB
-rw-r--r-- 1 root admin 340850 Apr 15 20:37 Desktop DF
drwxrwxr-x 15 root admin 510 Nov 5 2006 Developer"
and
do shell script "echo D*"
return
"Desktop DB Desktop DF Developer"
There are other things sh doesn't do that bash does.
