Absolutely correct. Guess that is what I get for trying to read
documentation that late at night. Peter, it looks like the DOSRENAME
function should do what you need to have done.
FWIW, this is the way the function is documented:
===============================================
DOSRENAME(filename1,filename2)
Summary: DOSRENAME renames a file or directory.
Arguments: filename1: The name of the file or directory to rename.
filename2: The new name of the file or directory.
Returns: 1 if the operation was successful, otherwise 0.
Notes: The names should contain any necessary drive and path
information, but should not contain wildcard characters.
DOSRENAME allows a file to be "moved" from one directory to
another on the same drive.
