RENAME (REN)
Type: Internal (1.0 and later)
Syntax:
RENAME (REN) [d:][path]filename filename
Purpose: Changes the filename under which a file is stored.
Discussion
RENAME changes the name of the first filename you enter to the second
filename
you enter. If you enter a path designation for the first filename, the
renamed
file will be stored on that same path.
Wildcard characters (* or ?) may be used with either the first or second
filename designation.
For more information on using the RENAME command, refer to Chapter 2,
