A pleasure from, amongst my many trades, an ex industrial trainer.

Not sure I follow this.  The beauty of ShareFS is that you can open any
directory or file you want on any area that you have shared.

All you need is the copy command in the form:

   Copy <source> <destination>

or with a bit of a guide:

Copy share::Iyonix.$.directory.directory HostFS::HardDisc4.$.localdir.localdir

and once you have got the command sorted out, put it in an Obey File,
dump than on your pinboard and one click and your copying is done.
