I had been having the same problem with rename, that it wouldn't allow
a path on the first parameter, but I never thought it might have something
to do with the patch to command.com. Anyway, I backed out the patch to
default autoexec.bat to echo off and it fixed the problem. It also fixed
a problem with not being able to ctrl-break out of batch files. The
two patches are:
xxxx:1967 01 --> 00
changes echo on to off for all normal batch files and does not cause any
problems with renames or anything else that I can see, and:
xxxx:105B 03 --> 02
changes echo on to off for autoexec.bat and seems to cause a number of
strange problems. anyway, I suggest not doing the latter patch, but the
former seems fine...
