After taking all of the input presented, while one can copy files from the command prompt, as Jeremiah correctly points out is discussed in the documentation, it appears that the copied files still must go through the transfer software for reasons Ann notes. If one used a straight dos style copy string, such as copy c:\book\dogcat.txt l:\book\dogcat.txt where "c:" is the hardrive and "l:" the flash card drive, you would have a copied file on the card, but not one necessarily one fully workable on the BP.
