[R] Moving a file from one location to another

[Rui Barradas]

Hello,

On Windows this should be the old DOS command RENAME (or REN) and 
apparently the R function ?file.rename carries it's name.

And yes, the question is terrible. It also shows poor use of the help 
system. I didn't know the function name but got it right at the second try:

?file   # no, other stuff
?file.copy  # yes

Hope this helps,

Rui Barradas
