COPY
The COPY command copies the specified source file into the specified
target file.
If the target file exists, it will be overwritten.
It is not necessary to be connected to an environment to use the COPY
command.
Case sensitivity on the source file is platform specific. Windows is
generally not case sensitive, however, Unix is. For example, to copy a
file named tips.htm (lower case):
Windows:
>COPY TIPS.HTM COPYTIPS.HTM
Copied 1 file in 1 directory 8512 bytes
Unix:
>COPY TIPS.HTM COPYTIPS.HTM
File or directory "TIPS.HTM" not found.
