removing wierd files



hi,

somehow I've gotten a bunch of strange files in my home directory:  

-rw-------    1 matt     matt          16K 2004-05-31 17:07 -0.png
-rw-------    1 matt     matt          80K 2004-05-31 17:07 -0.wmf
-rw-------    1 matt     matt          20K 2004-04-27 12:25 -1.jpg
-rw-------    1 matt     matt          136 2004-05-31 17:07 -1.png
-rw-------    1 matt     matt          80K 2004-05-31 17:07 -1.wmf

I've tried to remove them but bash doesn't seem to like commands of
hte kind:

rm \-*
or
rm '-0.pnf'

is there a way to reference files whose names begin with -?  

thanks,

matt
