Any ideas?

that folder.
[overwriting boolean] -- Overwrite existing destination file?
[resuming boolean] -- Resume a broken copy?
[alias resolution boolean] -- Resolve source file if it is an alias
file? Default is FALSE.
[faster operation boolean] -- Take over the machine for the copy!
[progress display boolean] -- Show a progress window? Default TRUE.
[located at point] -- The global location of the window - can be
restored from previous "screen location" of return record.
