-You can also use `copy`, `move`, `del`, `list` and `ls` as synonyms for
- `cp`, `mv`, `rm`, `cat` and `dir` .  The `mv` can rename directories. 
+You can use synonyms for these: `copy = cp`, `move = rename = mv`, `del = rm`, `list = cat`, `ls = dir`. The `mv/move/rename` can rename directories. 
 
 For the `cat/list` command, you can enable line numbers with `-n` and you can limit the display range with `-l n-m` where `n` and `m` are decimal numbers (and n should be less than m). These are all valid uses of `cat`

 The `tf.py` module checks to see if the `tf_extend.py` files exists, and forwards unknown commands to it. The `help` system also extends when the extension file exists.
