What RENAME command do you have that allows me to MOVE a file from volume ABC: to volume XYZ:? Which is what I was asking in the second part of my article. My rename does "exactly what you want." if it is on the volume, but it doesn't work in the more complex cases of different volumes. > >>Wromg, eh? > > Yes wrong.

And by the way from my understanding we already got it with ARP 1.3 they have a move command in there that goes from one volume to another, and I think that it even has wildcard support. Please correct me if I am wrong. I haven't tried it y;et because I don't have it yet. (Hopefully my modem will come today and I can pull it down to my AMI.) > > What you want to do is not only different, but it was also not the ^^^ > question to which I was answering. Not?
