Thank you for the input. My apologies for any confusion, but I was trying to accomplish the same thing which most of us have done at one time or other with DOS's "COPY" commandline to copy select content of one directory over to another.
In the end, Aia's
Code:
ls ./dir1/*.jpg | xargs -I file cp -f file ../../dir2/
So I guess there's more than one way to cook a fish; but I can't help but wish there was something syntactically as simple as the old DOS "COPY" command for those of us who have moved along to UNIX...

mread
mread(1) General Commands Manual mread(1)NAME
mread - mtools utility to perform a low level read (copy) of a DOS file to UNIX
SYNOPSIS
mread [-tnm] msdosfile unixfile
mread [-tnm] msdosfile [msdosfiles...] unixdirectory
OPTIONS
Preserves the file modification time. Specifies that a warning is not issued when an existing file is specified as the target file. If
this option is not specified, the mread command verifies whether or not to overwrite an existing file. Specifies a text file transfer.
Line terminators are converted to the appropriate format.
DESCRIPTION
The mread command copies the specified DOS file to the named UNIX file, or copies multiple DOS files to the named UNIX directory.
DOS subdirectory names that contain the '/' or '' separator are supported. If you use the '' separator or wildcards, you must enclose
file names in quotes to protect them from the shell.
The mcd command can be used to establish the device and the current working directory (relative to DOS), otherwise the default is A:.
RESTRICTIONS
Unlike DOS convention, the destination directory may not be omitted.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned: Success. Failure.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The following environment variables affect the execution of mread: If set, this variable names the file that contains the name of the cur-
rent mtools working directory as established by the mcd command. If this variable is not set, the file $HOME/.mcwd is used.
FILES
Contains the name of the current mtools working directory as established by the mcd command. If this file does not exist, the default
mtools working directory is A:. Executable file
