Neil,
I hope that was a mis-type, you show in your message DFO: (letter o)
when it should be DF0: (number zero). In any event, you want to use this
command to do the copy–EXTRAS:BASICDEMOS/STARS
BASICDEMOS is a directory…and AmigaDOS also needs the destination
filename…the syntax is:
COPY <drive name>:<directory name if any><filename> TO <drive name if
different>:<directory name if in a directory><filename to be written>.
So, in the above, if you have 2 drives, you could have also typed..
COPY DF0:Stars TO DF1:BASICDEMOS/Stars (the capitalization does NOT matter)
presuming you have AmigaTERM in df0: (the internal drive) and Extras in the
external drive (df1:).
You can also download directly to the Extras disk, by specifying the
volumn name/directory/filename when asked for the receive filename. So in
that case, you could have typed Extras:Basicdemos/Stars and even with 1 drive,
the Amiga would have looked for volumn EXTRAS: and if it couldn't find it,
would have put up a requester asking you to insert Volumn Extras: into any
drive.
