Subject: M-x grep should encourage the user to remember to add filenames to
	the command line
Date: Fri, 02 Jul 2010 19:26:54 +0800

M-x grep, instead of prompting like:
  Run grep (like this): zgrep -nH -e
should prompt like:
  Run grep (like this): zgrep -nH -e    *
with the cursor placed                ^here.
That way the user won't need to remember to add the *, which he usually
wants, but always forgets, as I recall I mentioned a few years back.
