is a batch file that lets you copy as many files as you wish from
A: \ USER to B: \ USER. It substitutes the first given file for %1
and copies it. Then it substitutes the next file, copies it, and so
on. This way you can use SHIFT to gain access to more than ten

To copy the files Find.exe, Name 1. asm, and Name2.asm from
A: \ USER to B: \ USER, enter the name of the batch file, followed
