          Purpose:  Permits renaming subdirectories directly,
                    without creating a new directory, moving the
                    contents of the old one into it, and then
                    removing the old directory.

          Format:   RENDIR [d:][path]oldname[.ext] newname[.ext]

          Remarks:  PC-DOS has always provided a REName command
                    for filenames, but not for directories.  A
                    bug in DOS 3.0 permits you to use the
                    immediate mode of BASIC to

                         NAME olddir AS newdir

                    but this bug has been removed from subsequent
                    DOS versions.  RENDIR.COM permits renaming
                    directories in DOS 3.0 and later.

                    While RENDIR allows you to change the name of
                    a directory on another drive than your
                    current one, it does not permit you to
                    transfer a directory to another drive by
                    RENDIRing it.  Thus, for example, if you are
                    on drive C: and have a directory on drive D:
                    named \TAXES, from the C> prompt you can

                         RENDIR D:\TAXES \TAXES85

                    You cannot, however

                         RENDIR D:\TAXES C:\TAXES85

                    Furthermore, you should not use RENDIR to try
                    to change the name of the subdirectory you
                    are currently in.

                    Notes:

                    1.   Unlike RENAME, RENDIR does not support
                         use of the ? and * wildcard characters.

                    2.   Requires DOS 3.0 or higher.
