Hallo Mario, 

 MT> Can anyone explain why theese listed files match to the selection *~*?

 
Look in the HELP under Long Filename Searches:

Under Windows 95, files on VFAT volumes can have both a long file name (LFN)
and a short FAT-compatible file name.  4DOS, when running under Windows 95,
normally examines both forms of each file name when searching for files.  It
does so in order to remain compatible with the default command processor,
COMMAND.COM.

The long filename is checked first, and if it does not match then the short
name is checked.  Matching files which have only a short filename will be
found during the first search, because in that case Windows treats the short
name as if it were a long name.
