These are a few options: (1) In most shells, you can type a ^M character as part of a filename by prefixing the ^M character with ^V. (2) Use tab completion. Type the first part of the filename and hit the TAB key. The shells which support tab completion will fill in the remaining bits of the filename in the 'correct' way. (3) Use a GUI file manager or the `dired' mode of GNU Emacs to delete the file. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
