James:

You just reported a bug. The third line should have a check
mark as follows:

File name display and save ----------------
[x] /F0 Displays source file name only
[ ] /F Displays full source and destination file names
[x] /Fo Displays the list of files copied and saves it to a file

The /Fo switch was created as an extension of the /F switch
(which was inherited from XCOPY) and we put them in the same
category. But, certainly /Fo is more useful one in most cases.
Although /Fo is grouped in the same area of the help (/?)
display, it is now treated very much an independent function
from /F and /F0 switch (which exists as a XCOPY-compatible
feature).

I believe the /Fo function is working and the bug is simply
in the output of the /Fo /? combination (a relatively minor,
but mislealing bug). We will fix that bug in the next release.
