NAME - a statement that uses DOS to change the name of a disk file
       or directory
Syntax
  NAME oldfilename AS newfilename
    ■ oldfilename, a string expression, is the name of an existing file.
    ■ newfilename, a string expression, must be a filename that does not
      exist
 
Tip:  oldfilename and/or newfilename may contain a pathname. If the path
      in oldfilename is different than the path in newfilename, the NAME
      statement moves the file and renames it. Both files must be on the
      same drive.
