Also missing (as far as I can tell) from the new ARP copy command is the
ability to say:

     copy * to filename

and then type source code followed by control-\ and thus have a file....
Seems that * is being used as a wild card, and there is no substitute.
This, however, is my biggest complaint (except there being no C bindings),
I am generally thrilled to be using it!
