Hi You use the cp command. So you'd type the following: cp /usr/home/boole/MSNBOT/eggdrop.simple.conf /usr/home/boole/blindybot1 Note that . (dot) denotes the current directory, making it unnecessary in most cases (this one included). The only time it's useful generally is either to move something to your current directory or to run a program in your current directory. Geoff.
