Hello everyone!

It's my story, and I'm stickin' to it!                    note smiley!
                                                                   V
I'm sure Kelly's solution works (and no Kelly, I'm not insulted!  :-),
but so does mine.  I humbly refer the list to MPE's HELP command:

:HELP RENAME ALL
RENAME

     Changes the file name, lockword, and/or group name of a disk file.

SYNTAX

     RENAME oldfilereference,newfilereference[,TEMP]

PARAMETERS

<snip other parameters>

TEMP                Indicates that the old file was, and the new file
                    will be, temporary files. If you do not specify
                    TEMP, RENAME assumes the files are permanent.

OPERATION

<snip all the rest>

Dennis said he couldn't rename the temporary file, so that's the
solution that I provided.  Once renamed and saved under the new name,
the file is available for whatever testing Dennis wants to do (without
having to re-create it each time he logs on!)

Cheers!
