Unlike the +MS-DOS version of \fR\&\f(CWREN\fR, \fR\&\f(CWmren\fR can be used to rename +directories. +.PP +.SH See\ Also +Mtools' texinfo doc +.SH Viewing\ the\ texi\ doc +This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo +documentation.

Indeed, these items have no appropriate +representation in the manpage format. Moreover, not all information has +been translated into the manpage version. Thus I strongly advise you to +use the original texinfo doc.
