This works OK for me (in Windows):
NB.* fcopy: copy x (fully-pathed name of file) to y.
fcopy=: 4 : 'shell (''copy "'',x,''" "'',y,''"'') rplc ''/\'''
NB.EG 'C:\Temp\foo.txt' fcopy 'E:\Perm\foo2.txt'
I just noticed I had a commented-out version of "fcopy" using the win32api
with 'CopyFileA', so presumably that worked at some point in the past.
