Thanks Jeff, but that's kinda the problem; I have no file management
programs for the IIgs at all. So it's a chicken and egg thing, and kinda
hard to get started.

Nevertheless, I'm getting less enthousiastic about ProDOS by the
minute... No Copy command? Kidding. Even MS-DOS had that. Not to mention
OS/8 for the PDP-8 and other much earlier os's...

I have heard it is possible to copy binaries using some 'Bload' and
'Bsave' procedure, but who knows this one?
