Say you have a file called '--test'.
If you wanted to use vim to edit this file then you would do:
-*
vim -- --test
+<verbatim>
+
vim -- --test
+</verbatim>
The '--' tells the command that what follows is an argument, NOT to interpret them as options.

+AdrianHo: Note that not all programs accept '--' as an "end of options" marker. A more reliable method is prefixing the filename with "./", as in:
+
+<verbatim>
+vim ./--test
+</verbatim>
!How to directly interpret a shell script by the current shell. (Without forking a subshell)
*. <myscript>
