before you do the copying issue something like:

Wait WINDOW "Copying files.  Please wait..." NoWait NoClear

then after it's finished:

Wait WINDOW "Finished"

The second message will disappear as soon as you move the mouse or hit a key. If you want the user to definitely see the message and respond to it you can use MESSAGEBOX() to display a "finished" dialog.
