Can a Macintosh person tell us how to change the name of a file?

I have OE and TBird here. Neither one sets to mod date. Not that I'd mind if they did, but I can't say I'd ever noticed one way or the other. If someone sends me a photo of their new baby it's not particularly relevant to me what day they took the photo. And the date-of-taking would probably be embedded in the file anyway, these days (and for the last several years). [] To give it the same creation time is to say that both files are the same file; that there are no actual copies and therefore the copy was never actually created. Thus it's only an alternate manifestation of the same, exact item. Sounds like some pretty funky, existential hocus pocus to me. I can have two (or more) copies of the same file, _with the same date stamps_, on the same disc, as long as they're in different directories; nothing existential about that. I can even have them in the same folder, provided I have changed the filename for one of them. Whether they're "alternat[IV]e manifestations" I'll leave to the metaphysicists, but they both occupy (separate) space on the disc, i. e. I'm not talking about links, pointers, or such concepts. -- J. P. Gilliver.
