     NAME
	  Rename - To rename or	move files and directories.

     SYNOPSIS
	  Rename FILE TO FILE or directory.

     DESCRIPTION
	  Rename changes the names of your files.  If the file already
	  exists, or if	you attempt to Rename a	file from one disk
	  device to another, Rename will fail.	You may	use wildcards
	  to move many files from one filename to another, or you may
	  use wildcards	to move	many files from	one directory to
	  another. Note	that using Rename to move files	is quicker and
	  cleaner than using Copy and then delete.

     EXAMPLE
	  Given	a disk with the	files CA CB and	CC on it, you want to
	  rename them all to be	BA BB and BC. The following rename
	  command will perform this task.

	       Rename c* B*

	  On the other hand, if	you want to move all the files from
	  the current directory	to the directory Save_Me you would use
	  this form of the command:

	  Rename * to Save_Me

	  In cases like	these two, Rename will display the names of
	  the files it is working on, unless you specify the QUIET
	  switch to Rename.

    NOTE
          When renaming with wildcards, please only use #? or * and
          not the other wildcard characters, until V1.1 of ARP, or
          the results may not be what you expected.
