Hi Tobias,
I find this explanation of the wiki unclear.

project" no longer exists.
But this simple code should work even after compilation, right?

Note: The file "foo.txt" is located inside the project data folder.

Public Sub Main()

  Dim sPath As String = "/tmp/path-test"

  Try Mkdir sPath
  If Error Then Return
  Try Copy "./foo.txt" To sPath &/ "foo.txt"

End

Regards
Gianluigi
