			While the [Source] Directory is very flexible supporting , .* & ..* to include "All Files", the [Destination] Directory is less flexibe.

			Examples:

			Copy Source\* Destination
			* This sample will copy all files to Destination - This is the preferred syntax for copy

			Copy Source\* Destination\*
			* This sample will copy all files to Destination but will Remove any Extension so "Sample.wb" will become "Sample"
