Changing the Name of a File
You can change
the name
of a
file by using the RENAME
command. To change
the
name
of a file, you
must
specify
the file
you are renaming, and the
new name
you want
to
give
that
file.
To
change
the name
of
datefile to today, type
either:
RENAME FROM datefile TO today
or
RENAME datefile today
Use
TYPE
to check
that the new name refers
to the same
file
contents as you
had
seen
previously:
TYPE
today

Notice
that the alternate form of the command
doesn
'
t
require you
to use
FROM
and TO
,
but
still executes
the
command
the
same way.
Most
of the AmigaDOS commands
have
an alternate form.
In
this
chapter
,
the
longer
form
has
been used primarily to
introduce you to what the command does
.
