From: seismo!unido!exunido!hmm (Hans-Martin Mosner) Date: Sat, 1 Nov 86 03:10:54 +0100 One problem with all the methods for escaping -file is that wildcard expansion by the shell will still get the real names. So if I happen to have a file "-rf" in my home directory and do a "rm *f", I'm out of luck :-) I have no solution for this, though... Hans-Martin Mosner University of Dortmund (W.
