Re: cp command

   I cannot get the cp utility to accept the -f or the --force command-line 
   option.

This is probobly due to the fact that cp is an alias to 'cp -i', you
can see what aliases there by typing 'alias' in your shell.

$ alias
alias cp='cp -i'
$ cp -f foo bar /tmp
cp: overwrite `/tmp/foo'? y
cp: overwrite `/tmp/bar'? y
$ unalias cp
$ cp -f foo bar /tmp
$
