Hi All ....
I am trying to backup my email on a memory stick.  I used the cp command:
cp source directory
The email directory is called "Local Folders" and it contains a number 
of empty directories.  The cp command refuses to copy these empty 
directories.  Is there some way I can force the cp command to do this?
Do I need these empty directories on the memory stick?  Could I 
restore my email on another computer properly without them?
Um, I think I figured it out.  The command that I should use is
cp -R source directory
