or so it seems....

When I call File.renameTo(), the file is indeed renamed on disk , but the
object still returns the same values as before for getAbsaloutePath() etc.
Does this mean that I should be retaining a reference to the file object I
passed with the new file name?

Is this behaviour docmented anywhere, and moreover, why does it behave this
way??

TIA
Owen
