it's been how many years and we still have to explain that you DO NOT have
to go into the shell to run (most) posix stuff?

you can do the following to confirm that you have the MV program.  (In this
lady's case, this is probably a critical step...):

listfile mv.hpbin.sys,2
ACCOUNT=  SYS         GROUP=  HPBIN

FILENAME  CODE  ------------LOGICAL RECORD-----------  ----SPACE----
                  SIZE  TYP        EOF      LIMIT R/B  SECTORS #X MX

MV        NMPRG   128W  FB         637        637   1      640  1  8


so do do a mv, it would simply be -- :mv.hpbin "./STORECAT2 ./STORECAT"
(presuming the logon is manager.sys and the current/home group is .pub)
