Watch [Toolbars 1 (video tutorial)](https://resource.dopus.com/t/toolbar-editing-video-tutorial/1205/1).

Drag the CLI button out of the Customize/Commands window on to your toolbar, then click it.

Alternatively, if you have the find-as-you-type field enabled in Opus, just type \>CLI while in a directory. (Avoid special directories like Desktop and My Computer where FAYT doesn't work.)

You can force overwrites (i.e. of read-only files) and skip errors without prompting by passing the Copy command certain arguments. See the manual, under Opus Raw Commands, for descriptions of all the arguments.
