Copy                  NAME, TO, QUIET/S, UPDATE/S, MOVEWHENSAME/S, NEWER/S

The Copy button copies the selected file from the  SRCE  directory to the
 DEST  directory.

If any directories are selected to copy, the global setting of the
 Recursive Filter  will be used to determine which files will be copied.


If multiple  SRCE  or multiple  DEST  directories are selected, the copy
command will copy all selected items from the  SRCE  directories to all the
 DEST  directories in turn.

The QUIET option suppresses warning requesters but not error requesters.

The UPDATE option tells Opus to copy the file only if a file of the same
name is also in the destination.

The MOVEWHENSAME switch, when specified, changes the Copy function into
the  Move  function when the source and destination paths are both on the
same disk. This emulates the behaviour when dragging and dropping icons;
within the same disk, the files are moved, when dropped on a different
disk the files are copied.

The NEWER switch is similar to the UPDATE switch except it will only copy
files that either do not exist or which have a later datestamp than the
existing file.
