COpy

This command allows you to make a copy of any program or file on the

dual drives like the 4040), but it can duplicate a program under another name on

the drive.

FORMAT FOR THE COPY COMMAND:

~ "'"

PRINT# 15, "COPY~:newfile=~:oldfile"

or abbreviated as

PRINT# 15, "c~:newfile=~:oldfile"

The COpy command can also be used to combine two through four flles

on the disk.
