Subject: Questions about copying using FileUtils

Hello,
Can someone please help me with the following script? It doesn't work, 
and yields the message below this script. My "puts" is just for testing, 
to see if it sees the files. The "puts" works fine when I don't include 
the copy line just below it. I'm just copying original files to files of 
the same name, with different extensions. I could as well be opening new 
files of these new names, not just copying them.

As a related question, do all iterators, like my "each" below, require 
an "end?"

Thanks a lot.

Dir.chdir("c:/scripts/ruby/temp")
require 'fileutils'
include FileUtils::Verbose
psfiles = Dir.glob('*.ps')
psfiles.collect!{ |psfile| File.basename(psfile, '.ps') }
psfiles.each do |psfile|
    puts psfile
    FileUtils.cp("psfile", psfile + ".pageinfo")
end

gives me this . . .
