Or he could just right-click on the directory in just about any file
browser known to man and rename it. Or simply use globbing (is that the
correct term?):
édirectory
mv *directory adirectory
Maybe the problem space is ill-defined, but if it is what it appears to
be, this whole thread seems silly in a very usenetty way, i.e., a
senseless and brutal buggery of a fictional gnat.
Or am I missing something?
