Probably the following sequence of commands:

        rm applib/xx.c applib/RCS/xx.c,v
        mv prolib/yy.c applib/xx.c
        mv prolib/RCS/yy.c,v applib/RCS/xx.c,v

This assumes:

 - you store the RCS history files in an RCS subdirectory, and

 - you want to preserve the version history information currently
   associated with prolib/yy.c, but throw away the version history
   information associated with applib/xx.c

If you want to merge the version history information, or if you want
to make the replacement an entry in the existing version history
information for applib/xx.c, then things get more subtle. You need to
tell us a bit more of what you want to do.

Oh, and if you could post to the list in plain text rather than HTML
then that would be a help.

Cheers

Colin
