I think that you need to use SHELL commands, i.e. SHELL "COPY C:\a.txt C:\test\a.txt". "COPY" is a DOS command, and also a BAT command I think. Any operating system that allows you to use DOS or BAT will work.

Making a nice progress-bar is going to be a bit difficult. In order for it to be meaningful, you would need to know the time or the length of each file being copied, to move the bar accordingly.

An alternative would be to print a message on the screen after each file is copied. Example: for 8 files to be copied:
... File AAA has been copied ... 1 of 8
... File BBB has been copied ... 2 of 8
etc.

If you understand Basic, then you should be able to learn enough from the code to write your own.
