OS9: reference to USB-drive

Hello

Can anybody help to make an applescript to copy a file from an external USB-drive to the internal drive of the mac.
I tried many suggestions, but the result stays the same: an error.

tell application "Finder"
    copy folder "HD_USB:test" to "Macintosh HD"
end tell

Every time I get in error about HD_USB:test and class…

What am I doing wrong?

Hi,

try move instead of copy.
copy is either for copying data to the clipboard or the keyword
to assign a value to a variable

Thanks, tomorrow I will test it.
