       _M_r_e_n renames an existing file on an MSDOS filesystem.

       _M_r_e_n will allow the following command line option:

       vv      Verbose mode.  Display the new filename if the name
              supplied is invalid.

       Reasonable care is taken to create a valid MSDOS filename.
       If  an  invalid  MSDOS target name is specified, _m_r_e_n will
       change the name (and prompt the user to accept  or  reject
       the new name if the verbose mode is set).

       The path component of the target filename (if supplied) is
       ignored.  In other words, you may not use _m_r_e_n to  move  a
       file from one subdirectory to another.

       _M_r_e_n may be used to rename directories.

       MSDOS subdirectory names are supported with either the '/'
       or '\' separator.  The use of the '\' separator  or  wild-
       cards  will  require the names to be enclosed in quotes to
       protect them from the shell.

       The _m_c_d command may be used to establish  the  device  and
       the  current working directory (relative to MSDOS), other-
       wise the default is A:/.

       MSDOS can't use REN to rename directories.
