no, not a typo... read the ""properly formatted""* routine like this


 if FileExists(fn+'.PK2') then
   shell('/usr/bin/mv ' + fn + '.PK2 ' + fn + '.MIX');


the pluses, in this case, are appending strings together...

i'd be interested in what the variable "fn" contains... i'd also be concerned
about that forced caps stuff with ".PK2" which may be lower case on some file
systems which may be case sensitive...
