Aha, I believe it does.  I'll look into playing with that, too.  One 
question about a line of script, though:

    put "_copy" before char -4 of tDestPath

What's character -4 of that path?  if the path is:

"/MyHD/Folder/file.doc"

then will character -4 be the ".", so we'll have
"/MyHD/Folder/file_copy.doc"
in the destination?

Thanks much guys, and have a very happy new year,
