MS-DOS better than Applescript??

I want to do a simple thing: copy a file into the same folder using an other
name. In (good?) old MS-DOS days this was a simple thing:

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;-) ?

Thank you

Roman
