ARGH! See, and this is something I should have realized! One of the Linux books I got is Linus in Easy Steps, and helpfully its examples are all drawn from Ubuntu in particular, and one of the steps I read in the book was that the mv command renames an existing file.
>.<
I have a feeling this is why I was never the best programmer--I have a stunning ability to overlook that something applicable in one situation is also applicable in my own situation. *sigh*
I'll try this again, and THANK YOU for pointing this out to me. Maybe now I'll remember the mv command can move something, but it can also just plain rename something. LOL
I've spent a lot of time hanging out with IT professionals on a social level, so I learned how to at least help pinpoint a problem and describe what steps I've taken. :P So I'm glad that at least this hasn't been too painful for you! :D
