Bold type indicates text on a window, other than the window title. Such
text includes menus, menu options, buttons, radio box options, or
explanatory labels. For example, bold is used in sentences such as the
following:
• From the File menu, choose Open.
• Click the Cancel button.
• In the Enter name entry box, type your name.

• Write the command as follows:
copy source-file target-file
