Well, in some of the shells I'm familiar with, you can enclose an
argument in quotes to hide special characters from the shell. In the
Bourne shell and Korn shell (and maybe cshell, though I'm not familiar
with it) you can use double quotes (") to hide some things but still
allow others, and you can use single quotes (') to hide everything. So,
your example would become:
arc a foo '*.c'
