Thanks!

I just tested my application in Mt Lion which uses

do shell script "cp -np " & sourcePath & space & targetPath

When I tried to copy a message from Mail to the root of the boot volume,

I got an error message from the code, above, ending with the phrase

"Permission denied.". There was no request for a password.

A reading of the man page for 'cp' may reveal a detail on how handle a password.

It may not be an improvement over 'duplicate', however.
