FoxPro is sequential, not multi threaded. The program won't continue to the next statement until the COPY FILEs are all copied.

If you need to track what's going on, you'll need to do an ADIR() to get the files information into an array and process that through a loop, or you can use the SYS(2000) function to get the file names if there are more than 13000 files in a folder (an ADIR() limit because of the array (13000*5 elements for each file, 65000 elements - VFP9 will not have that limit).
