Thanks all of you for your help first.
Nadya, I tried your suggestion:
copy file temp.txt to (m.lcFileName)
it works well. Then I tried to skip the "m.":
copy file temp.txt to (lcFileName)
it works too. Can you explain to me what does the "m." means? I tried to search it in HELP but failed to find it.
