-------------------------------
Search COMMAND.COM for the command "copy" and edit the name to something like
"kopy". Rename "vcopy" to "copy". The details of editing COMMAND.COM are
very fuzzy, so I can't help you more than that. Good luck!
BTW, be sure to document the change so later people can be aware and/or be
able to change it back.			-ted-
