There seems to be a problem with my previous message
(or people are not interpreting it correctly). I suggested
either "rm -i *" OR "rm -i .*" where '.' indicates a
single character match of ANY sort and '*' indicates matching
any number of repetitions of ANY character. (Some meta-language
matching algorithms use '?' instead of '.'.
As for the "ls | see" or "ls | cat -v" solutions, either
of these is equally valid.
