Copy                                           Manual page 117
F5, Shift+F5

 The Copy command allows you to copy files.  There are three
 ways you can use this command:

     .  You can copy the file under the cursor bar in a file
        panel.

     .  You can copy a group of files that you've marked with
        the Ins key or Select group and Unselect group.

     .  Advanced users: You can type in the name of the file
        to copy (or a group of files if you use DOS wildcard
        characters).  Press Shift + F5 or hold down Shift when
        you select Copy from the Files menu.

 Pressing F5 (or selecting Copy) brings up a dialog box like:

       +--------------------- Copy ---------------------+
       | Copy "somefile.ext" to                         |
       | _                                              |
       -------------------------------------------------|
       |      [ Copy ]  [ F10 - Tree ]  [ Cancel ]      |
       +------------------------------------------------+

 There are three ways you can select where to copy the file(s)
 to:

     .  Type the name of the directory where you want to copy
        the file to (or the name of a new file if you're
        copying one file).

     .  Press F10 to bring up a pop-up directory tree of the
        current disk and select a directory from this tree.

     .  Set up the Commander so there are two file panels,
        with the inactive panel showing the directory to which
        you want to copy the files.

   Canceling Copy:
        Press Esc at any time to stop copying files.


   Note:  You'll be asked for confirmation before existing
          files are overwritten.
