You're probably not going to be trying to save a virtual disk onto 
another virtual disk unless the source disk is smaller, but is this 
what you mean?
DRIVE 0,ON   ' turn on physical drive 0
SAVER "http://www.coco3.com/somedisk.dsk","SOMEDISK.DSK",D

??

Or is this what you mean? (copy web disk to a real CoCo disk)

DRIVE 1,"http://www.coco3.com/somedisk.dsk"
DRIVE 0,ON
BACKUP 1 TO 0

If you like all this, wait til you're able to do THIS:

DRIVE 1,"http://www.someserver.com/latest.dsk"
BACKUP 0 TO 1

Don't even ask!  It's too early to spill all the beans.  :)
