I tried to move post.mp4 - a 3.5.meg file. - got insufficient memory error with move, copy & xcopy. The copy command sometimes has trouble with wildcard "*". I tried copy *.* new\*.* It copied only one file then stopped,. xcopy worked. The edit command has limits on size; had to use Wordperfect on one file. In 2015 Dennis talked about using vedit but can't find a dos version. In the new world large files are common.
