I cannot access files with filenames containing "non-graphic" characters.
(How they got that way, I don't know.) I have two files that I need to
access called "maps\033w" (ls shows the name as "maps") but if I enter the
name as shown, I still cannot access it. I also have a file of substantial
size which has the CR character as it's filename. 

My books do not cover how to handle files with such names. 

How do I access these files, i.e., to read or rename?
