     I've heard of this before.  I'm sure a search on Google would turn
up lots of solutions.
     As you know, the problem is that it thinks the "-" is an option to
the "rm" command.  So, we need to refer to that file without having the
"-" be the first character in the reference.  Try "rm ./-PT".  That
should do it.
