This is often very useful, even to make typing awkward characters
easier. I often use ? rather than * to reduce the risk of accidentally
matching other files.

First, thank you to both responders. Next, I really
goofed. I forgot that gunzip normally removes the .gz file when
it runs so what I had in place of the .gz file was

Just quote the filename like this:
gunzip 'InstallingGRFromSource#Using-the-build-gnuradio-script.gz'

as it appears including the # sign. Ls sees it and rm -i would
remove it if I let it but if I do:
