+=item *
+
+On Mac OS (Classic), the path separator is ':', not '/', and the
+current directory is denoted as ':', not '.'. You should be careful
+about specifying relative pathnames. While a full path always begins
+with a volume name, a relative pathname should always begin with a
+':'. If specifying a volume name only, a trailing ':' is required.
+
+E.g.
+
+ copy("file1", "tmp"); # creates the file 'tmp' in the current directory
+ copy("file1", ":tmp:"); # creates :tmp:file1
+ copy("file1", ":tmp"); # same as above
+ copy("file1", "tmp"); # same as above, if 'tmp' is a directory (but don't do
+ # that, since it may cause confusion, see example #1)
+ copy("file1", "tmp:file1"); # error, since 'tmp:' is not a volume
+ copy("file1", ":tmp:file1"); # ok, partial path
+ copy("file1", "DataHD:"); # creates DataHD:file1
+
+ move("MacintoshHD:fileA", "DataHD:fileB"); # moves (don't copies) files from one
+ # volume to another
