RENAME
Command
RENAME
filespec1
[TOJ filespec2
RENAME
devspec1
[TO]
devspec2
Changes a file's name and/or extension from filespec1 to filespec2. It
also changes a device name from
devspec1 to devspec2.
You
can use RENAME to change the name of a file or a device.
RENAME does not change the file's password, contents, or position
on
the disk. (See the ATTRIB command
to
change the password.) If
filespec1 is password protected, the password must be specified or
an error message will result.
RENAME does not change a device's routing, filtering, linking, or
setting.
devspec1 must
be
an
existing device, and devspec2 must be
an
unused device name.
You
cannot RENAME the system devices: *KI,
*00,
*PR, *SI, *SO,
and *JL.

the password defaulted also.
