Try writing a djgpp program that calls remove(), and then you can quote the command line. Use ALT-Keypad-0-9 to enter characters by ASCII value. You can even use findfirst/findnext to get the names (with bogus characters), and prompt the user (yes/no) for each file. That way, you don't have to figure out the ascii codes. A djgpp port of "rm -i *" would do this also, but I'd back up the system first.
