Richard Hillen in September of last year was claiming on this list 25
seconds to do a revcopyfile.
I typed CR into the dictionary and couldn't find it. I think I must
have added an extra " or quote when I was typing.

Something seems wrong there. However if using ditto works for you,
then that's fine.
I haven't done much with copying files. Moving them is very fast using
the rename command, but copying is different. If the files are small
you could try:
put URL ("binfile:" & tOriginalFile) into URL ("binfile:" &
tNewFile)
but if they are larger than a few MB, that might not be so good as it
reads the entire file into memory before writing it out again.
Do you have cr defined as return?
"cr" is defined in Rev. I prefer using it instead of "return" because
"return" also means return a value from a function and I prefer to
make sure they are obviously different. And it's shorter to type :-)
