By mistake I saved an email attachmed as it was called, probably
from MS world:
- Reviewer Comments - FFEMS - Closure paper.pdf

Now I cannot delete, or rename it.

% cp -\ Reviewer\ Comments\ -\ FFEMS\ -\ Closure\ paper.pdf z
cp: illegal option --  
usage: cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-f | -i | -n] [-lpv] source_file target_file
       cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-f | -i | -n] [-lpv] source_file ... 
target_directory
% rm -\ Reviewer\ Comments\ -\ FFEMS\ -\ Closure\ paper.pdf 
rm: illegal option --  
usage: rm [-f | -i] [-dIPRrvW] file ...
       unlink file
% 

I can view it with xpdf, but that's about all.
I tried wildcards and quotes, sh, csh, bash, tcsh and superuser but no luck.

How can I delete or rename this file?

many thanks
anton
