[Javascript] copying a file

[Parkes, Rohan]

According to the documentation, the target can be a folder. This must be the
case, because you can use wildcards to copy multiple files using this
method.

I'm not sure that it's correct to return the method to a variable, though -
the doc. doesn't show that in any examples, and I don't know what you would
get back, especially if you copies multiple files.

Also, of course the target folder has to exist - the copy method won't
create it.

Andrew I notice that your line appears to have a folder name as a
target.
I see in my own old code that I always appear to build up a full target
file path and name with the path in the same format as you show for the
source file.

Try that.

PS. I read your message at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/javascript/message/12273

I am watching the list via that egroup after the traumas of last
weekend. I suspended mail delivery from the list. So if I take longer to
reply than of yore that is the reason. (is it safe to come out yet?!)
