I finally got smart enough to go to my maintenance partition and run
pmrexx scrollcmd.cmd which provides a command line and saves everything
that ran off the screen when I ran xcopy with the hotserve switches in an
os/2 window.

xcopy beeped and hiccuped three times when copying c: to l:. I found
these statements in the record:

SYS1186: XCOPY cannot access the source file.
C:\OS2\HELP\primary_.DB

SYS1186: XCOPY cannot access the source file.
C:\OS2\HELP\_CACHE0.DB

SYS1186: XCOPY cannot access the source file.
C:\OS2\SYSTEM\RAS\LOG0001.DAT

I tried to access the three files in the scrollcmd record via an os/2
window with this result for each one:

SYS0032 The process cannot access the file because it isbeing used by
another process.

The enhanced editor and ZTBold opened all three files without any
problems.

ZTBold showed:

primary.db 16384 .a.. 7/28/03 11:53:04 pm
primary.db~ 16384 .a.. 7/29/03 12:28:10 am (note the ~)

_cache0.db 0 .a.. 7/28/03 11:53:02 pm
_cchlock.lck 0 .a.. 7/28/03 11:53:04 pm (was the next
file)

log0001.dat 40960 .a.. 7/27/03 1:55:34 pm

If someone can tell me the purpose of these files and why the enhanced
editor and ZTBold can open them but Xcopy cannot or anything else
relevant, I would sure appreciate it.
