@Peter

I think I found a small bug regarding MM.Info(FILESIZE file$).
I wanted to use it to determine whether a file exists.

From manual:
  Quote  MM.INFO$(FILESIZE file$) Returns the size of file$ in bytes or -1 if not found, -2 if a directory.

I would expect a return of -1 for a nonexistent file, but I get:

Error : Could not find the file

I know I could deal with "on error skip" and "mm.errno".

I also know that there are two other ways to determine if a file_exists.
MM.Info(MODIFIED fb$)=""

and
On Error Skip
Open "file.txt" For Input As #1
If MM.ErrNo <> 0 Then
...


Best regards
Michael

EDIT:
I was surprised!
Question regarding the copy command:
Is it a desired behavior that files with the same name are not automatically overwritten/replaced, but have to be deleted first?
