4. Data > Selection
5. Select Name
6. Check "Ask At Run Time"
7. Select Matches

Step 10 returns the message: "Contains string cannot begin with an asterisk, but may be used as a trailing wildcard, for example "sales*". This is Bug# 20020923-010.
11. Select Cancel from the Ask At Run Time prompt, and Results returns all the records. This is also a bug: Bug#19950303-043.
