On Solaris, tcsh shell, this failed:

But that same command worked on a Linux box under tcsh.
or you can take the prompty way, don't hit 'y' in the wrong spot :-)

No - that doesn't work on Solaris. Neither does this:
rm -i ?
Both commands return this:
usage: rm [-fiRr] file ...
Apparently this is because the globbing causes the shell to see this:
rm -i -
But, I had a directory with only one file in it. So I added a file called
'junk' and then did this:
rm junk -
That worked! It just doesn't want a minus, even a quoted one, at the
beginning of the arg list.
