Calvin:

Nearly all of the user prompts are for safety. We are
quite aware that the prompts that XXCOPY generates are
nuisance. And, the easiest way to eliminate them is to
use the /YY. But, this is not what we recommend. It is
a way to give up the safety features.

Instead, we suggest that you read the warning message and
try to understand why the message is there. Since it
may be the last chance for you to abort a devastating
operation which was inadvertently entered, you should
be alert. To remove the warning message, type ? and
XXCOPY will give you a short help text with the switch
that will suppress the warning.

Whenever XXCOPY is about to perform an operation, it
will generate a warning one way or another.

1. file overwrite /Y
2. before file delete by /Z /ZY
3. before file delete by /Rxx /RxY
4. before entering a directory
for a delete operation /PD0
...

The following section of XXTB #27 explains the various
prompts and how to suppress them

Now, there are a few user prompts that cannot be
removed from an operation using the Freeware.
In such a case, you need to acquire the Pro version.
In general, advanced features for professionals and
network operations are for XXCOPY-Pro.

They are summarized in

Nearly all user prompts are for the safety of operation.
