- An acquaintance of mine ask me to help her with a diskette problem. She
- has a single diskette Amiga. I do not know the model or software
- version. She has a diskette that has a bad spot on it, and it will not
- load. By clicking on "cancel" a couple of times, files on the disk are
- accessable, however.
-
- As a long time computer nerd (that never touched an Amiga before), I
- immediately found out how to get to the CLI window. I have figured out
- how to move necessary programs to the RAM disk, so I can work with this
- "bad" disk. There is a specific file she would like to copy to another
- disk, and I am sure it is possible as I can copy other files from this
- disk. The file is not big. The problem is that it is named:
-
- "ADDRESS FILE.FLR" (without the quotes).
-
- COPY and RENAME apparently look at the space between ADDRESS and FILE as
- a delimiter, and I get a syntax-type of error message. I have tried
- using double-quotes at various places, but to no avail. How can I either
- COPY or RENAME this file.
-
- Thanks for any help.

- Frank
