   If you do this, either set up your workbench disk so you only need
invoke copy once (ie. put everything in a sub directory), or, set your
path to include VD0: (1.2 only.. but then, we all use 1.2 now right? :-)
and copy the copy program into it first -- then you don't need to read
it from disk everytime you call it.
