please note that script above copies only in textmode !
Ideal for plain text-files.

To copy all other types of files use:

put URL "binfile:C:/myFile.jpg" into "binfile:C:/myCopiedFile.jpg"


On a Mac it is a bit more complex because of the "Type" and 
"Creator"-Code
needed by the OS. (To correctly handle doubleclicks on that file etc...)

Please drop a note if you would like to know the "mac-way", too :-)
