    Dos Copy Command? [resolved]

    Is there a switch or special dos command that you can use to copy all files and subdirectories with their files in them?

    Thanks
    -George

    Or cp -R

    In any Unix, not just GNU, you can use the "man" command to find out anything.

    Press 'q'. Same way you get out of a normal less environment.

    Emacs is fantastic, given the proviso that you know how to use it. Otherwise it's an absolute bastard.

    Personally, I don't use it - I don't need the power just yet. However, things may change...
