Simple scripting problem?

Hope I'm directing my question to the right arena. (or, hope this group
is not
offended by my lack of knowledge!)

I'm working on a simple script that copies font files from folders on a
CD into pre-existing folders on an external drive. The problem I'm
having is using the copy every command on a PowerMac7200, running OS
7.5.3.

The command is as follows:

copy every file in folder "Suitcases" of disk "xyz" to folder
"Suitcases" of disk "external drive"

This is a simple command, and functions properly on an IMac in OS 9.0.4.
But when run on the PowerMac, it does not recognize the font suitcase
files in that folder. If I have text files in there, it will copy those,
but will not copy the font suitcase files.

A workaround is to copy each file individually, with a command line for
each, but I was looking to build a generic *update monthly* sort of
installer.

FYI ~ This command works for the outline and afm files. It does not work
on TrueType files either.

Thankyou for your time:

Chris
