Check out the man pages for cp or even cp --help I couldn't find any reference to 'reply' in both `cp --help` and `man cp` here (coreutils-6.9-17.fc8). What version is yours? Moreover: $ cp --reply=yes cp: the --reply option is deprecated; use -i or -f instead cp: missing file operand Try `cp --help' for more information. That last advice is still pertinent, James ;-). Now, what cp does Luc have? Regards, -- wwp
