Actually it depends on the platform I think.
>> system/version
== 1.2.1.3.1
>> make-dir %test/
== %test/
>> write %testfile "Test"
>> rename %testfile %test/testfile
>> read %testfile
** Access Error: Cannot open /C/rebol/Script/testfile
** Where: halt-view
** Near: read %testfile
>> read %test/testfile
== "Test"
IIRC I used it successfully on Linux too. Of course, this does not
work if you are moving the file between different disks.

Hey, you're write. Behaves this way on Win95 as well. I think I have always
misread the help on this:
USAGE:
RENAME old new
DESCRIPTION:
Renames a file to a new name.
RENAME is a function value.
ARGUMENTS:
old -- path to the old file (Type: file url)
new -- new name (not a path) (Type: file url string)
(SPECIAL ATTRIBUTES)
catch
as "new - new name (not containing a path)" . . . instead of, "new - new name (not a
path by itself)" . . .
Thanx for clearing up my confusion.
Regards,
Ashley
