Copy                                 F5, Shift + F5, Ctrl + F5
 The Copy command allows you to copy files and subdirectories.
 There are four ways you can use this command:

     .  You can copy the file or directory under  the  cursor
        bar in a file panel.

     .  You can copy a group of files  and  directories  that
        you've marked  with  the  Ins  key  or  Select group,
        Unselect group and Invert group.

     .  You can type in the name of the file  to  copy (or  a
        group of files if you use  DOS  wildcard characters).
        Press Shift + F5 or hold down Shift when  you  select
        Copy from the Files menu.

     .  You can copy one file or directory under  the  cursor
        bar even if some files and directories  were  marked.
        Press  Ctrl + F5  or hold down  Ctrl  when you select
        Copy from the Files menu.

 Pressing F5 (or selecting Copy) brings up a dialog box like:

      +--------------------- Copy ---------------------+
      | Copy "somefile.ext" to                         |
      | _                                              |
      -------------------------------------------------|
      |       [ Copy ]  [ F10-Tree ]  [ Cancel ]       |
      +------------------------------------------------+

 There are three ways  you  can  select  where  to  copy  the
 file(s) to:

     .  Type the name of the directory where you want to copy
        the file or directory to (or  the name of a new  file
        if you're copying one file).

     .  Press F10 to bring  up a pop-up directory tree of the
        current disk and select a directory from  this  tree.
        Alt-F10 brings up directory tree of the target disk.

     .  Set up the Commander so there are  two  file  panels,
        with the inactive  panel  showing  the  directory  to
        which you want to copy the files.

   Canceling Copy:
        Press Esc at any time to stop copying files.

   Overwriting or Appending Files:
        If the target file already  exists, you'll be  asked.
        You can choose owerwritting or appending.

   Note:  This command deletes the treeinfo.ncd file when you
          rename or move directories.
