To copy REPORT, FACTS, and MEMO from drive A to a file

named DATA on drive B, type the following and press Enter:

COPY A:REPORT + A:FACTS + A:MEMO B:DATA

Remember these rules when copying files:

You must tell MS-DOS where to find the original file and
where to store the copy; that is, you need to specify the
drive (and directory, if necessary) for Both.

You cannot create a new file with the same name and in

the same directory as an existing file.

If there is a file on the destination diskette or directory that

has the same name as the file you are copying, the copy

automatically replaces the existing file. There is no warning

that the existing file is Being replaced; so be careful that

you do not accidentally erase a file you want to keep.

If you are copying to another diskette, that diskette must

have been previously formatted.

Note

You can also use the XCOPY command to copy individual

files or groups of files. XCOPY, an external command, offers

an efficient way to copy certain groups of files. For details

about XCOPY, see  your MS-DOS Reference Manual.

You can use the RENAME command to change the name of a
file or group of files on the same disk and directory. For
example, to rename a file named PROSPECT (in the default

directory) to CLIENT, type the following and press Enter:

RENAME PROSPECT CLIENT
