RE: writing special characters

So any anyway Guru's....You guys da Guys.

Is it a good rule of thumb to have alphanumerics, underscores, and periods
as the contents of a filename?

Is there a reason to have special characters in a filename?

cp -- X -X works as well as cp X ./-X

Of interesting note on Mac OSX cp X '-X' worked fine.

Thanks,

LLYiT
