Problem moving a file
I have a file that starts out with a parenthesis in the name like this -
(MA) (PC.. and I am trying to move the file. Tab completion will not work for the file, and i have even typed out the entire name with the slashes and everything and it still will not move. I believe it has something to do with the parenthesis. Also - A normal file shows up as green in my terminal, a directory is blue, and this particular file is a bold bright green.
Thanks for any help you can lend!

i'd assume that means its executable? either way, try enclosing the filename in parantheses.
