fs.copy(oldPath, newPath)

The first one is for the shell, and the second is for the built-in Lua interpreter.

I think he's literally typing copy oldPath newPath. Instead of using the PROPER NAME FILES.

oldPath = file to copy
newPath= path to copy to

just go to your disk

cd disk
and copy your program, example:

copy program ..\
Note: ..\ means that program will be copied into main PC directory
