	Actually, I believe I know what the problem was; it sounds like what
happens when you change a disk and try to access a file in a subdirectory on
the new disk.  Someone posted a message about this just a few days ago.  No one
yet seems to know how to simulate the act of hitting the escape key in the
Desktop window, so the problem seems unsolvable, other than by preceding the
copy command with a 'ls a:\' when you change disks.  Good old GEMDOS.
