[Question] How do I copy programs to a computer?

I first copied a program named "open_trapdoor" and "close_trapdoor" to a floppy by using the "copy" command.
What I typed in to the normal console:
 copy open_trapdoor disk 
and
 copy close_trapdoor disk 
I checked to make sure it was successful by typing in
 dir disk 
It showed that both programs were on the disk.
My problem is that when I attempt to copy the programs like this
 copy disk/open_trapdoor rom/programs 
it sends a error at me saying:
 copy:13: Access denied 
Am I copying the programs to the wrong place or what?

You can't copy stuff into rom/, rom stands for Read Only Memory.

You want to copy it to the root of the computer –

copy disk/stuff /
This will copy it to your computer.

ok ty. but what I don't get is that you can edit the programs in the rom on the computer itself.

You can't, have you tried saving?

oh I thought the programs you add turned up in the rom/programs. I now just realize that if that were true I wouldn't have been able to copy them just by typing in the name :D/>/>
