- I don't just think so, I'm sure. What I was looking for was a MOVE command that
- works like a Unix 'move' command. If a Unix 'move' command doesn't move accross
- devices; then RENAME was what I was looking for. Since I didn't know that,
- BACKUP/DELETE is more useful, but everybody (almost) understood I was refering
- to the Unix 'move' command. What else did you expect?
-
- Oscar.
