W95 style file names

I remember asking this question before but can't remember where. Nothing 
shows up in this or my other list's archives nor in a google search under 
my name.

The problem is that I saved an attachment sent by someone using Windows.
The file name is of the form Axxxx Bxxxx Cxxxx.ZIP (note the spaces). when 
I try to manipulate it the error messages are:

$ rm Axxxx Bxxxx Cxxxx.ZIP
rm: cannot remove `Axxxx': No such file or directory
rm: cannot remove `Bxxxx': No such file or directory
rm: cannot remove `Cxxxx': No such file or directory

Obviously Linux thinks this is 3 separate files. I remember being given 
the work around for this before when I posted the question but as I said 
I've lost it. Any help or pointers would be appreciated. Thanks.
