#
#Symptom:
#	Using File Manager, copy a file onto a networked drive's subdirectory 
#	will fail.
#
#This appears to be true no matter what is used as a source drive (c or a 
#networked drive).  The FM asks if I want to replace the networked 
#SubDirectory with the file I asked it to move into that subdirectory.
#
#Method:
#	Drag file "onto" subdirectory as shown in FM, OR open up all pertinent 
#	subdirectories and drag file from one drives subdirectory to the other.

I believe that this is only true with DOS 4.x. Does anyone have
a counterexample? [This is the issue I referred to in my earlier
posting about version-specific behaviour.]
