When launching vim from the command line, I can do for example vim *.txt to open all text files in a directory at once.

For some reason, trying the same from inside vim ( :e *.txt ) gives an error: E77: Too many file names.

Is there a reason why vim refuses to open multiple at once? Is there a way to change that?
