-
- If _✓f_✓i_✓l_✓e_✓B exists, the previous version is lost unless it is
- readonly. If this is the case then the filename is printed
- and the user is queried for a response.
-
- One or more _✓f_✓i_✓l_✓e_✓s (files or directories) can be moved to a
- _✓d_✓i_✓r_✓e_✓c_✓t_✓o_✓r_✓y (retaining the original file-names).

- answers 'y' to the prompt.

- or copied onto a file with that same name (but in a
- different directory).
-
