Sealeopard, what version where you using when testing this? Or did you simply quote from the manual? I've also done some quick testing with 4.50 and come to the same conclusion as the topic starter. So it appears not to be a RTFM issue afterall...

The line in the documentation about the trailing backslash is obviously meant when moving directories and not for files.

The overwriting comment is for doing something like this:
Code:
Move "D:\MyFolder\MyFile2.txt" "D:\MyFolder\MyFile3.txt"


The above does overwrite without warning.

So we have:
a) a bug
b) a minor documentation error

"If the source or target specifies a directory, please make sure to add a trailing backslash."

Should be something like:

"When moving directories, please make sure to add a trailing backslash."

Nice double catch Witto.
