FileDirectory>>rename:toBe: might work; have you tried it?
There are many more (platform-specific) subtleties to the general
"move" idea that I'm sure aren't covered by Squeak: for instance, on
many systems you can't actually move a file between two different
file systems. So you have to copy it then delete it (we also have a
FileCopyPlugin).
And what happens when you try to move a file to a file system with
different naming rules?
