Thanks for trying, Albert.
Strange though, using the load command (within R:base) I have no trouble
loading the data from this file into a table.
I just can't seem to copy it into another folder in order to save it for
later examination. We delete it from the users folder after it gets loaded,
so it doesn't mistakenly get loaded a second time. Now they want to save it
for a while.

See the results below. I did it in 7.6 and 9.1 (64) and it worked just
fine. Then I tried with the exact file name you gave in your reply, and
got the same results you did - invalid file spec. Weird, to say the least.
I also tried adding a .txt to the end of the file name and it told me
"Syntax is incorrect for the command RENAME". I guess the system (I am
using XP Pro SP 3) doesn't like that particular file name. j

Bernie, the COPY command is supported by R:Base without needing to ZIP
to it.
COPY ThisReallyLong.HidingInASubdirectory.File.TXT LongFile.TXT

I've tried zip copy and zip rollout copy
But all I get is "program not found"
Thanks in advance,
