filenames with BANG


Need help, Cant access html file from lynx, even though its readable by other
commands.

$ ls -l "test bay#, wwid"
-rw-r--r--+ 1 test Users 50999 Nov 17 03:22 test bay#, wwid
$ file "test bay#, wwid"
test bay#, wwid: HTML document, ASCII text, with very long lines
$ head -2 "test bay#, wwid"
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";
>
$ lynx -dump "test bay#, wwid"

Can't Access `file://localhost/cygdrive/e/test%20bay#,%20wwid'
Alert!: Unable to access document.

lynx: Can't access startfile

Played around and found that if i create any file with "#, " lynx cant
understand it. 

Appreciate your help.
