Copying and pasting a directory/program

To create a new directory or program that is similar to an existing program, you can save time

by copying the old directory or program and only changing selected programs or program

The capability of copying and pasting directories and programs can also be used to exchange

data with other systems via USB/network drives (e.g. USB FlashDrive).

Copied files or directories can be pasted at a different location.

You can only paste directories on local drives and on USB or network drives.

Write rights

If the current directory is write-protected for the user, then the function is not listed.

When you copy directories, any missing endings are added automatically.

All letters (except accented characters), numbers, and underscores are permitted when

assigning names. The names are automatically converted to upper-case letters, and extra dots

are converted to underscores.

If the name is not changed when copying, a copy is created automatically:

MYPROGRAM.MPF is copied to MYPROGRAM__1.MPF. The next time it is copied, it is

changed to MYPROGRAM__2.MPF, etc.

If the files MYPROGRAM.MPF, MYPROGRAM__1.MPF, and MYPROGRAM__3.MPF already

exist in a directory, MYPROGRAM__2.MPF is created as the next copy of MYPROGRAM.MPF.
