>> "xcopy /h" at the command prompt should get you started.<<

Yes, xcopy with the /h option does exactly what I wanted. I got faked out when I looked up the xcopy command in the on-line help file for DOS commands. This is what it says:

"Copies directories, their subdirectories, and files (except hidden and system files)."

Is there any place where one can find out what the options are for the DOS commands in the Windows\Command directory? The on-line help for DOS commands is only for the DOS versions of the commands and not not for the Windows 95 version of the commands. Out of curiosity does anybody know what the difference is between xcopy and xcopy32?

Thanks for the help. I am glad these were mundane questions for the gurus on Dream Machine.
