Could I, for example, issue the following commands? mv myrealbigtextfile Dosdisk\text\mybig.txt Ok, I know I could issue the command, but would anything bad happen? The purpose of these questions is to help me understand limitations, and restrictions in having multiple operating systems, so I can make intellegent choices about how I am going to configure my system. Thankyou
