need help coping directory

[strade]

I'm trying to copy full directories from DOS but it will only copy the files in the directory and not the subdirectories.  

copy *.* (destination)
doesn't work.  I also tried the full path name.

If anyone can help thanks a lot.

use xcopy instead. at the dos prompt type xcopy/? for options.

xcopy *.*/s    c:\whatever

will copy all the files plus the subdirectories.
