[Coco] Question on os9's copy

[Bob Devries]

Hi Gene,

I have on a number of occasions found that copy bails out if I use the 
wildcard option:

:copy -w=/xx/blah *

if there are too many file names to process, then it quits.

However, I'm not convinced that it (in my case) is a copy problem, but 
maybe a shell problem?

my $0.02
