Derek, Thanks for the help it worked perfectly.It does seem alittle backwards
though after using the DOS copy command for so long..
I actually looked up this command in the Kaypro manual, but did not find
anything, its very difficult to find anything in it, and also no pictures
either.. <Grin>!!
Maybe someone should write a book called "CP/M for Dummies" with lots of
Pictures and illustrations...
Phil...
