Found answer, thanks for help
Thanks for the help on this. I finally found ( or stumbled across) the answer by looking in the "man rm" , where it says that following the rm command with the "--" means it treats what follows that as a filename, allowing the filename to start with the hyphen.
Is the hyphen a "special character " ? I don't see it listed as such in the lists of special characters.....???

pathchk
PATHCHK(1) BSD General Commands Manual PATHCHK(1)
NAME
pathchk -- check pathnames
SYNOPSIS
pathchk [-pP] pathname ...
DESCRIPTION
The pathchk utility checks whether each of the specified pathname arguments is valid or portable.
A diagnostic message is written for each argument that:
o Is longer than PATH_MAX bytes.
o Contains any component longer than NAME_MAX bytes. (The value of NAME_MAX depends on the underlying file system.)
o Contains a directory component that is not searchable.
It is not considered an error if a pathname argument contains a nonexistent component as long as a component by that name could be created.
The options are as follows:
-p Perform portability checks on the specified pathname arguments. Diagnostic messages will be written for each argument that:
o Is longer than _POSIX_PATH_MAX (255) bytes.
o Contains a component longer than _POSIX_NAME_MAX (14) bytes.
o Contains any character not in the portable filename character set (that is, alphanumeric characters, '.', '-' and '_'). No com-
ponent may start with the hyphen ('-') character.
-P In addition to the default or -p checks, write a diagnostic for each argument that:
o Is empty.
o Contains a component that starts with a hyphen.
EXIT STATUS
The pathchk utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
EXAMPLES
Check whether the names of files in the current directory are portable to other POSIX systems:
find . -exec pathchk -p -- {} +
SEE ALSO
getconf(1), pathconf(2), stat(2)
STANDARDS
The pathchk utility conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1'').
HISTORY
A pathchk utility appeared in FreeBSD 5.0.
