        Renaming files in the GNOME File Manager window or on the desktop can be
        achieved in two ways.
      </P

>        One method of renaming a file is to right mouse click on the
        file and choose the <B
CLASS="GUIMENUITEM"
>Properties</B
> menu
        item from the <B
CLASS="GUIMENU"
>pop-up</B
> menu. In the
        <TT
CLASS="GUILABEL"
><B
>Filename</B
></TT
> text box you may type in the new
        name as you wish it to appear.

>        A shortcut method to rename a file is to slowly double click on the
        filename in the icon view or on the desktop.  Make sure the double-click
        is slow so you do not launch the file but you simply highlight and then
        click again.  At this point the name of the file will enter into the
        editing mode, your mouse cursor will change to an editing line, and you
        can type in the new name. Once the name is as you would like it to be
        you may press the <B
CLASS="KEYCAP"
>Enter</B
> key to end the editing process.
