Re: [newbie] Command error
Hi Anne, You forgot your destination. A common error that M$ crap, I mean products, puts us into. When you do command line copies in DOS the default destination is assumed as the local directory. ++alan On Wed, 2003-06-25 at 04:43, Anne Wilson wrote: What did I do wrong?

You're right - it didn't g But it made me think what else could be wrong - the backup dir is called TreePad, but the origin directory is called Treepad. Duh!!

Hi, Alan. No - it's the wordwrap that split it. It was a silly capitalisation error. Thanks anyway Anne On Wednesday 25 Jun 2003 3:04 pm, Alan Carbutt wrote: Hi Anne, You forgot your destination.
