   It doesn't really matter what the contents of the files are.   
      
   I only brought up the contents being different because a dumb move wouldn't   
   work because that would overwrite files of the same name in A with the new   
   contents of another file of the same name from B.   
      
   A is the master folder.   
      
   B is just the new files (some of which may have the same name and hence   
   would be discarded).   
      
   I should also be clear the copy (or move) isn't the problem because Windows   
   already won't copy over the file in A if it has the same name as in B.   
      
   What I'm after is the _list_ of files that were copied (or moved) over from   
   B to A (those are all going to be file names which were not in A prior).   
      
   Kind of like this pseudish code snip   
    cd B   
    for %i in (*.txt) do if not exist ..\a\%i copy %i ..\A\   
    echo %i >> list_of_file_names_in_b_not_in_a.txt   
      
   I don't even need to do the copy/move because that's the easy part.   
   The hard part for me is getting a list of file names in B not already in A.
