It is curious there's a FILE_DELETE IDL command, but no file copy? Huh.

How about:

CASE ( STRUPCASE( !VERSION.OS_FAMILY ) ) OF

'UNIX': SPAWN, 'cp ' + from_file + ' ' + to_file
'MACOS': SPAWN, <whatever the Mac command is>
'WIN': SPAWN, <whatever the Windows command is>
'VMS': SPAWN, <whatever the VMS command is>
ELSE: 'IDL on PDP 11/70 is no longer supported :o)'

ENDCASE

Of course the non-unix results for !VERSION.OS_FAMILY above are made up. :o)
