I've tried lynx, but it did not display the files. I tried emacs, but I was only able to rename two of the directories to other names I could delete; the other two gave me an error of illegal character. I tried 'rm -i -- ?*' but it didn't find the files. I tried 'find . -inum 146 -delete' but while it gave no error message, the files/directories remain. Help! How do I delete these odd directories? Please CC me in your response as I'm not currently subscribed to the List. Thanks. Walter
