3. Switch There is only one switch available for this utility f Suppresses any prompts that would normally be sent if a filename already exists at the destination PROCEDURE 1 From the system prompt enter mv the switch if desired the source filename and the destination filename The computer moves the file and you are returned to the system prompt This moves the file within the current working directory If a move is taking place from one directory to another it is preferable to include the full absolute pathnames NOTES In some cases using this utility can be somewhat hazardous Occasionally a file collision may occur In other words if an attempt is made to move a file to a directory where a file already exists with the same name it is possible that the original file may be lost as a result of the collision Generally it is safer to cp the file to where it needs to go and then delete the original file 218 Dim3D Rev 10 0 Appendix B pg PURPOSE This utility allows you to display a text file with user controls It allows you to control the flow of information to a terminal screen It displays the text file one screen page at a time allowing you to scroll through file forward or backward one page at a time This utility can be used as a direct command to view the contents of a text file or as a pipe destination allowing the output from any other command to be displayed one screen at a time This utility i
