   No such command exists from the command line of either DOS 3.3 or
ProDOS. You'll need to use a program to do that. If you have a DOS 3.3
system master, use the 'COPYA' program to copy an unprotected disk;
the ProDOS system utilities disk should have a similar utility.

   By the way, unless you're making a backup, you do not need to make
a copy of a runnable Appleworks disk.
