Hi folks.

Recently as a mistype I created a dir named "--help" as the follow:

drwxr-x---   5 qmailq  qmail   512 Sep 19 20:25 --help/

So how can I remove this? when i type "rm -rf --help" it exits quietly, i tried some glob as "*help*" and escape as "\-\-help" but not worked so far, when i try to "cd" into it says:

bash: cd: illegal option: --
cd: usage: cd [-PL] [dir]

If this is answered in any FAQ sorry to send this here,
Thanks in advance,
Vinicius Vianna
