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.
