deleting illegaly named file

[dave morton]

Somehow a file has been prepended by a  '  -  ' (subtraction sign)

Bash won't let me delete or move it as the minus sign makes the file illegal

How do I get around this ? Is there a way to temporarily disable the bash 
shell or
add the ' - ' as a wild card?

I have tried surrounding it with single and double quotes like
rm -f  "-abc123.bmp", but no luck

Thanks
Dave
