COPY
Syntax
COPY Source path TO Destination path

Copies a file from Source path to Destination path.

The destination path does not need to have the same name as the source path.

Note that you cannot copy directories recursively with this function.

Example
' Save the gambas configuration file
COPY User.Home &/ ".config/gambas/gambas.conf" TO "/mnt/save/gambas.conf.save"

Errors
MessageDescription
File already exists (#38) The destination file already exists.

This instruction internally uses the functions OPEN, READ, WRITE and CLOSE. So it can raise any of their errors.
