I still would like the newly-created directory to be 'stamped' back to its original date-time. Moving a directory, which copies first then deletes, appears to preserve the datestamp so it can be done.
I would say that RISC OS uses rename to do move, and that is why time stamps are preserved. If so one would expect different results when things are moved between discs to when they're moved around a single disc.
