you may wish to change a name that you find hard to remember
or not quite appropriate.
NOTE
YOU MUST KNOW THE EXACT OLD NAME OF
THE FILE YOU WISH TO RENAME. YOU MAY
WISH TO USE THE DIRECTORY COMMAND AT
THIS TIME IF YOU ARE UNCERTAIN.
PROCEDURE:
1 .
If the file to be renamed is on diskette, insert the diskette
and close the drive door.
2. Obtain the DOS prompt for the drive on which the file
to be renamed is located (A: for diskette, C: for fixed
disk).
3 .
In response to the DOS prompt, type in the RENAME
command followed by the old file name (base name
and extension) and then the new file name to be assigned.
