"Easy" is a relative concept - you can't beat the efficiency of keyboard
input and a CLI /if/ you are experienced with it. Especially given that
the right-click works only on windows, and only for the single file. The
given example copies all files that end in .doc, and nothing else. For
users adept at CLI's, "easy" means having a huge amount of flexibility and
customizability at your fingertips, and not having to reach for the mouse,
ever. Fitt's Law melts away into nothingness in the face of a keyboard.
Oh, um, hi - my name is mike. I joined the list the other day. I will now
return to lurking. :)
