Oh, I see now. I had thought it was an absolute path, but good thing it
isn't because of the possible need for quoting characters in the path
name.
The only other idea I have is:
NEW=/path && test ! -f $NEW/%f && cp %p $NEW/%f
but that is not going to work with csh-based shells, while I think the
original is fine.
