'
The RENAME function will use MASTERSCOPE to drive the rename instead of FINDCALLERS according to the value of DEFAULTRENAMEMETHOD. RENAME also has a ''method'' argument. Most of this is documented in the manual in the section next to rename.'
'
I guess since there IS a way of doing what was wanted, we should mark this AR Status_ Declined.'

Thanks for bug report.'
