I've tried lynx, but it did not display the files.
I tried emacs, but I was only able to rename two of the
directories to other names I could delete; the other two
gave me an error of illegal character.
I tried 'rm -i -- ?*' but it didn't find the files.
I tried 'find . -inum 146 -delete' but while it gave no
error message, the files/directories remain.
Help! How do I delete these odd directories?
Please CC me in your response as I'm not currently

Thanks.
