"They" didn't, of course.  

It is easy to rename a file.  Simply go to the relevant folder (by navigating
from the "Drives" object) and edit the filename.  You can do this in two ways: 
either open the Properties notebook for the file and edit the filename on the
Icon page, or hold down the [ALT] key and click on the name to edit it "in
place".

It is easy to move a file.  Simply drag it with the second mouse button and
drop it where you wish to move it to.  If you want to move it from one volume
to another, hold down the [SHIFT] key whilst dragging and dropping, otherwise
the default action is to copy, not to move, the file.

Your problem is that you have not run the OS/2 Tutorial.  You probably closed
it without thinking after you installed OS/2.  Now is the time to realise your 
mistake and go back and work through the tutorial properly.  All of the above
and more is explained in the OS/2 Tutorial in the section entitled "Basics".
