Q. How to copy files from a drive and directory?

You can copy files from a drive and directory other that the currently selected one.

However in that case, you need to specify the complete path for the source file(s). For example,

C :\> COPY D: SAMPLE.TXT A:\

C: \WORD> COPY C:\EXCEL\EMP01.XLS A:\

C: \WORD> COPY C:\EXCEL\EMP01.XLS C:

C :\> COPY \FOXPRO\DATA.DPF A:

The first command copies the SAMPLE.TXT file from the drive D to the root directory in drive A. the next command copies EMP01.XLS file from the EXCEL directory of drive C to the current directory, i.e. WORD in drive C. the last command copies the DATA.DBF file from the FOXPRO directory (at the root level) in the current directory of drive A.
