NOpe, just won't let you look at file.ext and look at .ext
when indicated by an env var.  Noticed this a couple times
over the years and found some sorta kludgy workarounds to
it, but thought I might be missing something.

Another place I was trying to do that one ...

My system stores the julian day number anyway.  ONly thing
is, nodelist updates happen next day utc here.  That's when
they arrive.
But, for other purposes, I store Julian day as environment
variable daynum.

SO trying to find out

if exist log.%DAYNUM% goto gotit
goto no
would send me branching to no as well.
Been there done that one .

Regards,
           Richard
