RENAME (REN) Command

The RENAME command permits users to change the name of a file without making a copy of it.

Example:

· C> ren a:goofy.txt pluto.txt

· Changes the name of 'GOOFY.TXT' on the A drive to 'PLUTO.TXT'.

This command is very simple to use, just remember two points: the file name and extension must be complete for the source file and no drive specification is given for the target. Renaming can only occur on a single disk drive (otherwise COPY must be used).
