I made a mistake when I went to rename a file. What I did was to

p4 integrate oldname newname
p4 delete oldname

Then I modified newname, not realizing that newname was not opened for 
editing. The expected result was that the submit didn't contain any of my 
changes.

Is there a way to modify a file after an integrate before a submit?

TIA

You just need to do a 'p4 edit' on it.

One additional comment: the situation is very close to a common
situation that a Java developer might encounter....

    "I have x.java that defines class 'x' and want to copy it to
y.java to create a class 'y'.  My Perforce-folks encourage me to use
an 'integrate/submit' so that it is clear that I made a copy of x.java
to start from, but I need to change the class or package statement
before I submit it, so that revision #1 of the new file is immediately
usable."

Steve's response remains perfect for that situation also: integ / edit / submit.
