rm ./-ls

is an easier and equally effective method.  incidentally, the original poster
claimed that "rm -i *" worked on machines other than his hp.  well, i tried 
"rm -i *" on a 4.3 BSD VAX, and it did not work.  i think the only way it 
could have worked is if the original poster had a file that sorted 
before -ls in his directory.
