Hi all,

    Leaving out the details, I need to know how to
navigate directories and remove files that use non-
printable characters in their names. du and ls show
me they're there, but I can't figure out how to make
cd work, or rm either.  Fwiw, the non-printable char
is \225.  Lynx was not able to see the directory
either, but maybe because it began with a ". " -
I don't know.

    Also, is there a way to configure FBSD from accepting
non-printable characters in file names?

Thanks in advance.

Walter
