With Emacs there is always a way - no, several ways. ;-)

`C-x C-f * RET' will open all files in the current directory (or `C-x C-f .*
RET' if you also want the dot files). Each file is visited in a buffer, but the
buffers are not all displayed. Use `C-x C-b' to access buffers.

File-name globbing (wildcards) always works with commands such as `find-file'
(`C-x C-f') when you hit `RET'.
