Well, since Exist() checks for a specified file, and *.* is a wildcard...
Nothing wrong with the function really..
edit: oh, just realized your point. but that's only if you do a complete wildcard... ( *.* )
Reading the usage instructions you realize that the wildcarding supported is *.file-extension or filename.*
Code:

Exist( )
Action: 	Checks for the existence of one or more files.
 
Syntax: 	Exist ("file name")
 
Parameters: 	File name

    Identifies the file(s) you want to locate.

Remarks: 	Supports wildcards.
 
Returns: 	

0
	

File not found

1
	

File found  
 
Examples: 	

IF EXIST (@LDRIVE + "\users.txt")
  DISPLAY @LDRIVE + "\users.txt"
ENDIF

IF EXIST (@LDRIVE + "\*.INI")
  ; Etc, etc.
ENDIF
