copy file on Mac

[Chipp Walters]

I have a user who tells me that copying files in MacOSX with the URL 
command creates a target file which no longer launches Excel when 
double-clicked on:

put URL ("binfile:" & "text.xls") into URL ("binfile:" & "text2.xls")

IOW, text2.xls when double-clicked on won't launch Excel, even though 
text.xls will.

Any ideas? (I'm not near a Mac OSX right now. )

TIA,
Chipp
