Oh, duh. Why didn't I think of using ./?
I didn't know about --.
Unfortunately, * seems to miss this file. I type qrm (the name of the
c program I wrote) -<tab->nasty>* (because I have 2 files, -nastybad
and -nastyevil) and it replies that it cannot find a file named
-nasty*. I've also tried typing various letters then pressing tab so
I can get a complete name, but none of the characters work.
Thanks for your help,
Daniel
