    hi,

    somehow I've gotten a bunch of strange files in my home directory:

    -rw------- 1 matt matt 16K 2004-05-31 17:07 -0.png
    -rw------- 1 matt matt 80K 2004-05-31 17:07 -0.wmf
    -rw------- 1 matt matt 20K 2004-04-27 12:25 -1.jpg
    -rw------- 1 matt matt 136 2004-05-31 17:07 -1.png
    -rw------- 1 matt matt 80K 2004-05-31 17:07 -1.wmf

    I've tried to remove them but bash doesn't seem to like commands of
    hte kind:

    rm \-*
    or
    rm '-0.pnf'

    is there a way to reference files whose names begin with -?

    thanks,

    matt
