- Replace the destination file with the one from the source directory:
`replace {{path o ile_or_directory}} {{path o\destination_directory}}`
- Add files to the destination directory instead of replacing existing files:
`replace {{path o ile_or_directory}} {{path o\destination_directory}} /a`
- Interactively copy multiple files, with a prompt before replacing or adding a destination file:
`replace {{path o ile_or_directory}} {{path o\destination_directory}} /p`
- Replace even read only files:
`replace {{path o ile_or_directory}} {{path o\destination_directory}} /r`
- Wait for you to insert a disk before it replaces files (originally to allow inserting a floppy disk):
`replace {{path o ile_or_directory}} {{path o\destination_directory}} /w`
- Replace all files in subdirectories of the destination:
`replace {{path o ile_or_directory}} {{path o\destination_directory}} /s`
- Replace only files in the destination directory which are older than the files in the source directory:
`replace {{path o ile_or_directory}} {{path o\destination_directory}} /u`
- Display help:
`replace /?`
