Help help, I can't do anything with my file

Hi.

I created 1 file and named it "Warning"
# cat > Warning
Test content ... bla bla bla

<ctrl - C>

Then, I rename it to "-Warning"
# mv Warning -Warning

After done, I could do anything with it. Can not delete, can not read or rename it. When I execute these commands to do, they think -Warning means parameter, not file name

Use "./Warning" to name it.

Does it look like to execute file?

I tried:

Code:

-bash-3.00# mv "./Warning" warning
mv: cannot access ./Warning
-bash-3.00# mv "./-Warning" warning
mv: cannot access ./-Warning
-bash-3.00#  "./-Warning" warning
-bash: ./-Warning: No such file or directory
-bash-3.00# ./Warning
-bash: ./Warning: No such file or directory
-bash-3.00# ls
-Warning.txt  Misc-Temp     Projects
Ebooks        Products      Softwares
-bash-3.00#

Your file is not named "-Warning" as you stated, but "-Warning.txt" ...
