How about using something like 

	RUN DISKCOPY <CON:0/0/640/75/Diskcopy DF0: to DF1:

(use your own favorite CON window).  This would at least have the input
come from a window where you could type stuff in.  I don't know wither
this would work:

	RUN DISKCOPY <* DF0: to DF1:

but it might.  Unfortunately, I don't know how to get a RUN program
to use the SAME window for both input and output.

Just a thought.
