Brad Hicks (I believe)? I have tried the following syntaxes: COPYFILE("file" "newfile") (returns "expected ")" but found " " ") COPYFILE("file newfile") (the result is -2 (invalid queue element) COPYFILE("file,newfile") ( ditto) COPYFILE("Vol:file,newfile") (ditto) And many other permutations of the above. Thanks alot... by the way, is this xcmd in the archives, I did look for an example stack, apparently I threw out the one from which I got this xcmd, after copying it into my Home Stack.
