3817.0. "Copying into default dir." by SNOFS1::ASHLEY () Fri Jun 01 1990 02:51

    Hi guys
    
    Now your all going to groan.... but.
    
    Is there a way of indicating the default directory.
    Eg When you are doing a copy from DF0:filename to
    DH0:prog/assem/filename and your default directory is DH0:prog/assem
    the only way I have been able to copy the file over is by either typing
    in the full directory or /assem/filename.
    
    What do I do if I just want to say:
    	copy DF0:filename to mydefaultdir
    I only have a quick ref guide to AmigaDOS and it doesn't mention
    anything about default dir's (books over here in Australia are fairly
    expensive).
    Anybodies reply would be greatly appreciated.

    Try
    	copy <whateveryoulike> ""
    
    or using ARP-library
    	copy <whateveryoulike> *
