That is faster and more powerful, but requires finding out what the commands are." -- from <placeholder-5/>

~/Desktop</screen> This will not rename <filename>foo</filename> to <filename>Desktop</filename>, because <filename>foo</filename> is a file and <filename class="directory">Desktop</filename> is a directory. |
