Yes, you're right. "a*" was expanded to "abc" and "abc~" and jed was
called as "jed abc abc~".

Jed opens all files it is called with in buffers and shows the last
buffer first. As I didn't expect more than one file in the buffers,
I payed no attention to in which buffer I am.

Jed still opens both files here. But this is no problem. I know the
reason now and select the right buffer first before editing.

Thank you for your help :-)
