I know copying is just an example you've given, but it's worth noting
that there isn't a command to directly copy files. If it's a BASIC
program, you can LOAD <filename> and then SAVE <filename> after
swapping disks. If it's a binary file, it's harder - you need to know
beginning and ending addresses, but you can BLOAD and BSAVE them too.
For general file copying, Apple supplied the COPYA and FID programs on
system master diskettes.
