I like the "ask a coworker" idea.  But if that isn't good enough, at least
don't give answers like this that are blatently incorrect.  Go ahead and 
make a file called / and try to do anything to it with quotes around the
/.  You can try '/', "/", './/', \/ and any other quoting you like, but
it simply will not work.

The answer to get around '-' as the first char is to get something else in
front of the -.  Generally, the answer is "rm ./-".

This group is fun -- it really tests your level of tolerance.
