when we copy a file from one folder to another folder it does not ask a option whether to "OverWrite Yes/No", the problem is that suppose u keep program files in a folder called PROG, while working u copy that program file into a folder called WORK, but after completing when u copy the files back into original program folder using copy command it does not ask for any confirmation, so in that case u are not sure whether file was copied of the correct folder or even u type by mistake a diff folder name , u won;t get to know anything unless u check the folders,
is there any option to enable this or whether it can be included in next version of dosbox

games don't need the "overwrite yes/no" question. Hence it isn't present in DOSBox

its not related to games, but when u are in doxbox and try and copy files using copy command from one folder to another folder, there this confirmation will help, which is present into normal dos

Use your host OS's copy capabilities.
