Of course rename will not cross a volume boundary (from df1: to df0: for example). Which is the behavior you would want anyway (ie you want the data on df1: to move into the trashcan on df1:). This will mean a little more complicated adaptation than a straight alias; possibly a short script to extract the volume name out of the path to the file that is being "deleted". -- _. --Steve ._||__ DISCLAIMER: All opinions are my own.
