cp modification
I'm usia Raspbian, a Debian subset, and wondering what work would be involved in altering the cp command.

cp at present needs a full path and file name for source and at least full filename for destination. How can I change this so the second parameter isn't needed? So if the destination filename isn't given the source filename is assumed?

Many thanks.
