thanks for the suggestion! the \ kept the file name intact, but it's still trying to delete all the files instead of the ones i want... even when i just put *a=474...
bash-2.05a$ rm "*.html\$a=474" -r -i bigmouthfuls.com
rm: cannot remove `*.html$a=474': No such file or directory
rm: descend into directory `bigmouthfuls.com'? y
rm: descend into directory `bigmouthfuls.com/001'? y
rm: remove `bigmouthfuls.com/001/index.html'? n
rm: remove `bigmouthfuls.com/001/logo.jpg'? n
rm: remove `bigmouthfuls.com/001/bmfkirsty-2.wmv'? n
rm: remove `bigmouthfuls.com/001/2.jpg'?
bash-2.05a$ rm "*a=474" -r -i bigmouthfuls.com
rm: cannot remove `*a=474': No such file or directory
rm: descend into directory `bigmouthfuls.com'? y
rm: descend into directory `bigmouthfuls.com/001'? y
rm: remove `bigmouthfuls.com/001/index.html'? n
rm: remove `bigmouthfuls.com/001/logo.jpg'? n
