original file name.
    MESSAGES
	  Duplicate file name or file not found
The file already exists on the drive/directory specified with the 
name you are trying to assign, or the file to be renamed cannot 
be found. Check to see that you have entered the file name 
correctly; then reissue the REN command.
	  Missing filename
The file name for the required nfilename parameter was not
included.
    NOTE
     The old name must occur first and the new name must occur 
second. REN will not allow two files to have the same name at the 
same time, so you must use an intermediate name to switch the 
names of two files. Never rename special files that application 
programs require to operate.
