Re^4: How to copy/cut and paste files without using modules ?

I would prefer that we do not use these terms like BS and nonsense. That is not a civilized discussion.

This is a tough situation.

On the one hand, you yell at the op:

A common misperception is that a file "exists within a directory". No!

But this is exactly how it works, despite the actual implementation details.

A file exists within a folder, that is why they are called files and folders, this is the model .

So yes, if you're going to yell at someone and correct someone for using the same model everyone is taught, yes, this is bullshit.

A file exists within a folder You are unfortunately mistaken. A file exists on a disk and is being pointed to from a folder.	[reply]

Files/folder is a conceptual model/metaphor is based on real http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_folders. So yes, files do reside in folders, regardless of the actual implementation details which Marshall describes	[reply]
