Subject: Sometimes I feel really stupid

One of the things I learned at Acorn World was that I know much less  
about the beeb than I thought I did.

Things I learned included:

* You can move files from one folder to another on ADFS by *RENAMEing  
it into a new path.
* You need to put a colon after *I AM to hide your logon password on  
Econet.
* That you can do "*DIR ^" to go up a folder.

Pretty basic huh? I felt so stupid.

But then I come home and realise that I'm still feeling pretty dumb.  
For example:

How do you copy a file across filesystems? I've got access to a file  
on LANMAN (Sprow's ethernet SMB filing system), and I want to copy it  
to ADFS. I tried "TreeCopy" but it just said "Bad dir" and I have no  
idea why.

Actually TreeCopy really should have worked, the fact that it didn't  
it mildly confusing, I really would quite like it to work. :P

Anyway, so, what's the accepted way to copy a single file from one  
filing system to another?
