Deleting a file name beginning with a hyphen

[jamesm@jamesmcdonald.id.au]

As you can see from the following I have finally deleted this annoying
file with the name `-C' I was trying to delete it using \ to escape the -
characters. I was just on the verge of emailing Y'ALL when I had a final
go and
found that you have to specify the full path.... sigh live and learn
