how do you use this command. the site and program does not say much on it lol.

What are you babbling about?

What Wolron really meant to say is that we need more information than just 2 words which do not exist in the Blitz syntax.

Do you mean CopyStream?

I'm pretty sure he does mean CopyStream, and I'd be interrested in seeing an example as well.

there's an example in the samples folders (not sure if it's in the download buy too, I got mine installed from the boxed version), search for a folder containing files named echoclient.bb an echoserver.bb (or search for a *.bb that contains the string "copystream"), run echoserver.bb, then run echoclient and enter "localhost".
Copystream, as the name suggests, simply copies a stream :). I think it's useful when you want to read a stream, but don't want to "eat" it, which is happening when you simply read it.
