Most of these silly character files (and we have ALL done it) can be dealt w/ using "./". This causes it to not be looked at. so rm ./~ says look in . and remove the file ~. No expansion performed. I used this technique to test this e-mail. Try `touch ./~`, then `rm ./~`. Works like a champ. We once had a user create a file called " " (the space char). He doing some nasty things w/ it. This is how I was taught to deal w/ things like this.
