If you use the 'mv' command to rename a file in Gulam, you should
be aware of a slight difference between Gulam's and U*ix's 'mv'
command.

In Gulam the command "mv file1 file2" would cause file2 to be deleted
whether file1 existed or not.  For example, assuming file1 existed:

        mv file1 file2          <- renames
        mv file1 file2          <- executed a 2nd time will delete file2

It should be mentioned that there is a 'ren' command in Gulam for
renaming files.
