Ok. But in the case of rm there isn't a legit command-line argument
starting with @, is there?

Assuming rm is part of fileutils (can't check that right now) and
assuming this @ feature is common to all fileutils program (should be
IIRC), which of the fileutils program would have a legit command-line
argument starting with @? This question is somewhat retorical, because
when my WINDOZE system works again, I'll examine the situation.


Right,
