Hi Jason,

The reason why you are getting the error is because the file name you are
trying to save it under contains illegal characters. The "?" is an illegal
character in Windows (and some other platforms) filenames.
You could use 'trim/with to remove the illegal chars.
foreach file files [write trim/with copy file "?" read site/:file]
Or you could use 'replace if you prefer, to subsitute another value
foreach file files [write replace copy file "?" "$" read site/:file]
