CopyFile will copy a file. FACTS:       * Before you use CopyFile always make sure that source filename exists. If you try and copy a file that doesn't exist, PlayBASIC will return a run time error. Mini Tutorial:       This example will create a blank file on the C: Drive called "TestFile.txt" , then copies it and displays the info about this file. both files are removed before the program ends.    ; Create a variable for the Source files name   SrcFilename$="C:\TestFile.txt"    ; Create a variable for the output files name   OutputFilename$="C:\TestFile_COPY.txt"    ; Make the blank file, 100 bytes in size to copy   MakeFile SrcFilename$,100    ; Copy the File to   CopyFile SrcFilename$,OutputFilename$    ; display the info about the created file   Print "File Name:"+OutputFilename$   Print "File Exist:"+Str$(FileExist(OutputFilename$))   Print "File Size:"+Str$(FileSize(OutputFilename$))    ; now delete this file, as it's no use to use anymore   DeleteFile SrcFilename$   DeleteFile OutputFilename$       ; Display the screen and wait for a key press   Sync   WaitKey       This example would output.      File Name:C:\TestFile_Copied.txt   File Exist:1   File Size:100
