Me too! I really couldn't believe it when it actually deleted the file though. I test everything to do with files *throughly* on a separate system, cos you can't trust the documents and some of the commands do some *really* strange things and not what their names imply at all!

I just can't see how the original programmers thought processes worked on this one. Lets make a command called "rename" that can be used as a "move" command and allow it to delete the destination file. Why? What possible reason could there be for this? Especially since there are commands already that specifically delete files. Then to not let the person that was doing documentation know that it could overwrite files? What's that all about? It's just beyond me!

Take Care

I'm sure glad that rev gives us the primitives so we can check for overwriting ourselves. Sometimes we want to.

However it doesn't say *anything* about overwriting files!
