Copying From One Directory to Another
The COPY command lets you copy files from one directory to
another. To use this command, you must specify the name of
the file you want to copy, as well as the directory to which you
want to copy the file.
For example, if you are in the LETTERS directory and want to
copy the file APRIL.TXT to the BUSINESS directory, type the
following and press
Enter:
C
O P Y A P R I L
.
T X T
\WORDPROC\BUSINESS
The command has three parts: the word COPY, the name
of the file you want to copy (APRIL.TXT), and the name
of the directory to which you want to copy this file
( \ WORDPROC \BUSINESS). You must include spaces or
commas between each of the three parts as delimiters.
Note
You can also copy files using MENU or the MS-DOS
XCOPY command. See the section later in this chapter on
using MENU, and see your MS-DOS Reference Manual for
information about using XCOPY.
