Subject: [ruby-talk:6820] copy , using 'system'

Hello,
 I've just been using Ruby for a few days, so please bear with me.
I want to copy a file using the 'system' function. I am running 
Win NT4, SP5 and have tried:

system 'copy file newfile'
system 'cp file newfile'
system "copy file newfile"
system "cp file newfile"

The copy is never performed, and the value of $? is 32512. 
Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,
Barry
