19 Notes:Special action is taken if the name of the segment being copied
20 already exists in the working directory.  If the entry being
21 copied has an alternate name, the entryname that would have
22 resulted in a duplicate name is removed and the user is informed
23 of this action; the copying operation then takes place.  If the entry
24 being copied has only one entryname, the entry that already exists
25 in the directory must be deleted to remove the name.  The user is
26 asked if the deletion should be done; if the user answers "no", the
27 copying operation does not take place.
