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.
