Only showing three letter extensions with dir

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

My editor (emacs) likes to make backups by placing a tilde (~) on the
end of the filename. If I then do a directory of that particular
filetype by means of:

dir *.typ

then I get a list like
file1.typ
file1.typ~
file2.typ
file2.typ~
....

Is there a way (especially using dir only (without piping)) to get only
the *.typ without the ~ at the end?

Thanks,
