Jeff,

Usually when I get odd names on files / directories, I'll use wildcards to make
a generic name to delete it.  In this case, the bad character is at the
beginning, so I'd try "rmdir ?V5R2Install".  You may need to try that from a DOS
style command prompt -- I don't know if the iSeries accepts ? wildcards.
