On-rev Rename quotes work. Vars don't!

[Rick Harrison]

Hi Klaus,

I started out using the correct syntax with FILE, and it
didn't work on On-Rev.

I've verified that the pathname is correct.

rename FILE "xyz" to "zyx"

works fine on On-Rev

however:

put "xyz" into MyOldFileName
put "zyx" into MyNewFileName

rename FILE MyOldFileName to MyNewFileName

does not work on On-Rev.  It yields the error:  "can't rename file".

Try it yourself on On-Rev, and see if you can duplicate the error.

Thanks for your help!

Rick
