Tried copy again and this time it worked - including wildcards. I've been running TCL for a week and maybe it did something it shouldn't have. Still had trouble with the move command; it comes back [Insufficient disk space in destination path] I have 30 gigs of freespace. I have 2 gigs used out of 32 gigs. Maybe it thinks 2 gigs is the limit for some reason? Mem shows 597K conventional free, 30K Upper 0 reserved 522,778K XMS, EMS is 32M. Ver gave "FreeCom version 0.84-pre2 XMS Swap [Aug 28 2006 00:29:00] I was very suprised to see the copy command work today. Right now I suspect TCL of changing something.
