Author The star (*) in MDX

Does anyone know what the (*) does in MDX?

I am trying to evaluate part of a query. First, what do the stars do? (*)
Also, this bombs in the MDX Sample Application telling me that the
'.item(0)' is where the end of the statement is. Can I get the '.item(0)'
to work here?

WHERE Extract(Extract(Hier
archize({[DistrictFAY].[All
DistrictFAY].[Yes]})*{[SchoolFAY].DefaultMember},& #91;DistrictFAY])*Hi
erarchize({[SchoolFAY].[All
SchoolFAY].[Yes]}),[DistrictFAY],[SchoolFAY]).item(0)

thank you in advance,
tim
