Folks,

In an attempt to display the 'usage' instructions of a utility in UNIX, I
invoked it using the '-?' switch.  The utility proceeded to run and in the
process created three files having the '-?' prefix.  I've tried different
incantations of the 'rm' command without any luck.  Does anyone have any
ideas?

Regards
Paul Christidis
