Basic UNIX question from a neophyte... Please help.

I have this file in my directory...


-rw-r--r-- 1 thefly thefly 573440 May 12 14:15 -p

The filename is "-p" as far as I can tell -- I don't know how it got there even... I try,

ls "-p"
ls ?p
cat "-p"

etc. etc.

I can't figure out how to open the file or delete it or anything... I feel so helpless! Why is it there? LOL

Please help...

.. because Unix is interpreting the regular - as an option flag.
