Is there an equivalent to the unix 'cp'

	cp file1 file2 f3 f4 x* dest_dir

I tried arp's copy in various contortions:

	copy file1 file2 f3 f4 to ram:
	copy file1 file2 f3 f4 x* to ram:
	copy f* x* to ram:
	copy f*,x* ram:
	etc...

each time it complains with a message

	copy wildcards to wildcards

Does copy accept multiple files in the source wildcard(s)?  How do I
specify them?  The only way I have been able to use copy is to specify
a single file, or a single wildcard as the source.
