with spaces: rm "file with spaces" (quoted as one arg)
with control charaters: perpaps with their octal representation?

slashes aren't iirc allowed in filenames on unix filesystems.
(and wouldn't make any sense either, as they are defined _as_ limiter,
you cannot escape them)


Nico

ps: I don't think any FAT/NTFS version can handle slashes either. But this is a guess.
