-
- It should work if you say
-
- COPY "ADDRESS FILE.FLR" target
-
- if for some reason it's not working, you can try
-
- COPY ADDRESS?FILE.FLR target
-
- ? is the AmigaDOS wildcard that matches any character.
-
- If neither of these works, I'd look for the syntax error in the target
- side of the copy.
