Extended Parent Directory Names
CMD.EXE allows you to extend the traditional syntax for naming the parent
directory, by adding additional [.] characters. Each additional [.]

refers to a file one level up (in the parent directory), and ...\FILE.DAT
refers to a file two levels up (in the parent of the parent directory).

[C:\DATA\FINANCE\JANUARY] copy ...\LETTERS.DAT A:
