Date: 10 Feb 1995 09:09:45 GMT Organization: Freeside Communications, Inc Lines: 9 Message-ID: <3hfagp$fiv@villa.fc.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: freeside.fc.net X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Help! I'm a unix novice as will probably become painfully obvious in reading this next question. How does one delete a file that starts with a "-"? The 'rm' command won't accept it since it uses the "-" to denote whatever feature you want to turn on... So, there has to be a way to get rid of these files! Please help! -Steve Gibson -ares@freeside.fc.com
