:Helpful Hints #1273: if you have a file name containing characters that
:the shell assigns special significance to, put the file name in single
:quotes when typing it as a file name:
:
:	% rm 'odds&ends'
:

This doesn't work for filenames that start with a minus. eg -badfile
Anyone know how to erase such files with whipping up a short C program?
