i also had this problem;
there 3 ways of doing it
1)call openfile() and readfile()and writefile() functions but this dosent always work
2)declare a function based on the windows library the syntex is:
[FUNCTION boolean CopyFileA(ref string ExistingFileName, ref string NewFileName,boolean Flag) library "KERNEL32.DLL"]

then you call the function with the following script:

[String ls_existing, ls_newfile
ls_existing = "oldfile.doc"
ls_newfile = "newfile.doc"
CopyFileA(ls_existing, ls_newfile, FALSE)]

3)write in a bat file [copy firstFile secondFile] and
call [run("batFilename.bat&quot]
