Manipulating Files
------------------

 - Command: delete-file file-name
     This function deletes the file called FILE-NAME. When called
     interactively FILE-NAME is prompted for.

 - Command: rename-file file-name new-name
     This function attempts to change the name of the file NEW-NAME to
     NEW-NAME.

     This won't work from one file system to another or if a file called
     NEW-NAME already exists, in these cases an error is signalled.

     This prompts for its arguments when called interactively.

 - Command: copy-file file-name destination-name
     Creates a new copy of the file FILE-NAME with the name
     DESTINATION-NAME.

     The access modes of the new file will be the same as those of the
     original file.

     The arguments are prompted for when this function is called
     interactively.
