Thanks for the response:

Here is the file I named "test.bat" to transfer mm.doc from one file to
another as a test:

xcopy c:\data\word\files\mm.doc c:\data\download\mm.doc

I double click on test.bat to execute it.  I keep getting the error message:

"C:\data\download>gibberish
Bad command or file name"

What on earth am I doing wrong.  (maybe I shouldn't have typed the program
in "Word")

I can make it work in the command prompt, but not as a program.
