Or alternatively:

	mv	MoVe a file (the fact that it can be used to rename a file
		is coincidental ;-)
	rm	ReMove a file
	ls	LiSt files

Its just different terminology but not any differnt than md (make directory)
or ren (rename) are in DOS. (DOS didn't even have a move command until fairly
recently). Some people may consider UNIX commands obscure whilst others will
view DOS commands in a similar light. UNIX is no worse or no better just
different.
