Although, since the final argument can be a directory, perhaps the best connector for both is "at": Make a copy of foo _at_ bar Make a link to foo _at_ bar Or in the plural case: Make copies of foo, bar, baz, quux _at_ dest Make links to foo, bar, baz, quux _at_ dest

ln -s foo/bar . ln -s foo/bar ...are equivalent. Sadly, cp foo/bar doesn't quite work. Greg

I've found myself tempted to write a wrapper around 'cp' to make that form work. I won't, though, only because I know it'll wreak havoc when I go to use someone else's account for whatever reason. (e.g. to show them how to do something.)
