Can someone explain why I there's File.delete, File.rename, and the other file operations, but if I want to copy a file, I need to use 'require ftools' ? I know perl has this, but I could never make sense of it. Please explain the advantages if any. Daniel -- A.D. 1844: Samuel Morse invents Morse code.
