> cp works a lot like the unix cp.  You can copy one or more files to a
> destination and you do not have to specify the filename, just the path

> things easier by not requiring a destination file name (if you don't
> want to change it anyway) and letting you specify a group of files to
> copy in a single command, either with wildcards or by listing several
> source files.  really great!
