Description
MOVE should be able to relocate a source file to a new location, optionally with a new name. To indicate a new name, the destination should not end with a trailing backslash. So:
[c:\] move h:\test\svn-list.txt j:\svn-listing.txt
should result in:
j:\svn-listing.txt
existing as a file with the same content as the original svn-list.txt.
Actual result:
j:\svn-listing.txt\svn-list.txt
This is the same result as appending a backslash to the new name.
This is new with 3.10-GKY.

This seems to have been fixed in:
4OS2 3.11.2-shl OS/2 Version is 4.50
Build 3.11.2-shl.168 (May 5 2022 16:52:30)
I haven't thoroughly tested, however.

Fixed in 3.11.2. Reopen if necessary.

I can replicate this here. For example:
There is additional bustage. For now, be careful. If you Esc out of the command, it sorta, but not quite, acts, as if /S was provided and it tends to create subdirectories at the destination.
