REN
Use the RENAME command to change the name of an entity. When an entity
is renamed, every reference to the entity in the Dictionary is also
changed. A complete list of the entities that can be renamed is given

The subcommand is used to identify the type of entity for which a change
is to occur. For example, RENAME CLASS changes the identifying number
for the specified class.
