Well, gosh, if I can move a directory like this,
$ cd /var/tmp
$ mv affordablehost_logs ~/tmp
then why can't I remame it with R in dired?
Move `/var/tmp/affordablehost_logs' to `/home/jidanni/tmp/affordablehost_logs' failed:
(file-error Non-regular file is a directory /var/tmp/affordablehost_logs)
Move failed for 1 of 1 file

OK, supposing that emacs has conscientious objections to doing this,
then right there on C-h k R it should say so.
What do I got to do to enable this, purchase the 'warez CD?
