URL "binfile..." command seems to corrupt my mp3 files (re-creatable)

[Jim Schaubeck]

Thanks for the reply Stephen.  Jan helped me get the URL command working but I did look into the revCopyFile command.  In the rev dictionary under revCopyFile and I saw this:   put URL "binfile:/Disk/myfile" into URL "binfile:/Disk/Folder/myfile".  Once I saw that, I fumbled with the URL command.  Thanks again !

Looks like your code should work. However have you tried 'revCopyFile'  ?
