I want to do a simple thing: copy a file into the same folder using an other

Copy c:\abc\def.txt c:\abc\ghi.txt
Call me stupid but I did not find a solution to do this in Applescript
(MacOS X 10.1.5). After spending a few evenings in searching for a solution
I still did not find one.
How can I do such a copy in Applescript (or is MS-DOS really better;-) ?
If you like working in terminals then do
cp file1 file1.copy
and if not, then in AppleScript
do shell script "cp file1 file1.copy"
I'd say that's rather more economical than DOS.
