I must not have been clear about what happened.

In the 1st case cp was invoked 881 times to copy 881 files. In the 2nd case, the shell script CpDest1st was invoked 1 time and it invoked cp 1 time to copy the same 881 files. The cp command line invoked was 65190 bytes long. Even though it is just a list of PDF files preceded by cp -f and ending with /Users/dwc/tc1-2008detailed.pdf /Users/dwc/tc1-2008summary.pdf /tmp/pdfdest, I'm not comfortable posting the names of the other 879 PDF files both because this forum is not set up to handle a 65000+ character line length and because the directory structure and file names of files under my home directory is nobody's business but mine.
