Chris:

    Since you asked specifically about the syntax (not alternatives),
I'll refer you to the Toolshed Documentation.

    If you didn't get a copy of Toolshed.pdf or Toolshed.doc
(in /toolshed/doc/ of the source), check out the online copy at:
http://sourceforge.net/p/toolshed/wiki/Documentation/

    Or you can download them from:
http://sourceforge.net/p/toolshed/code/ci/default/tree/doc/

    Specifially the 'Pathname Elements' section. Note the comma
'between the host path and the OS-9/Disk BASIC path (the path within
the disk image).'

	To copy a file 'test2' from the image 'os9.dsk' the the root of
your hard drive:
 os9 copy os9.dsk,DIR1/DIR2/test2 C:\

Really?  He might do it just for fun.  I know I would.  If I were God,
I'd get together with all my other God friends and have a big party.
We'd all get drunk and create unliftable rocks, then try to lift them.
It would be loads of fun!  Then I'd probably just destroy the rocks
with a lightning bolt.  Then I'd probably pass out.  :^)
