Thanks. It didn't show up at first and suspected that it might be the cygwin terminal. So, I ran startxwin to get an xwin and then I can see it when I ssh to the backup F14 box. Once that solved, I see that, using whatever Fedora aliases 'ls' to, that a 'ls -Fl' shows it. Sorry for not trying that first, but I needed a "this will do it" example to make me suspect my end.

Appears that hmpf is red on black and /dfdfdfdf is blinking white on red (x shell is default black type on white background). Since this isn't a Cygwin list, I won't bother with any more on that, but at least I have a confirm that I probably will see it when I get my primary fedora box back.

And I might add, it does blink and it is ugly. The question is whether it is uglier than the missing file (smile). I am even more inclined to agree with Craig that it is effective at getting me to want to fix the underlying problem so the blinking stops.
