Whenever I type 'copy con' and then the file into the prompt it does not
display the information contained in the file, and therefore no matter what
text was inside it, it just copies a blank file.

Everything else seems to work fine and I had just gotten around the problem
by putting all my .c files in the same dir and compiling them , but I would
like to be able to seperate my source into different directories.  Is there
something I am doing wrong using the copy command?   I was under the
impression say I had a helloworld.c file and I did a copy con on it, it
would display the text inside that file on the screen and I could just
ctrl^z and it would copy...
Maybe I misunderstood the directions, any help you could give me would be
greatly appreciated.
