Summary: Bug?? in copy command

Has anyone else run into the following bug?(limitation)

The copy command only accepts pathnames upto some length (I think it is
47 characters, but don't remeber offhand)

With a hard disk I find that I often exceed this in an absolute pathname.
Software that executes the copy command revealed this prpblem.  I had to
figure out the directory name and do an assign to it, then call the copy command
with the pathname = TDEV1:filename.  What a pain.
