I have a file named :

I am wondering how to escape this properly for rm to work on it in
bash.

Someone suggested using Midnight Commander, but it doesn't even list
it as showing up in the directory, so it obviously doesn't know what to
do with it either!

Any shell-heads out there want to take a stab at it?  It's not really
bothering me, but it's just sitting there at the top of every 'ls'...
