Macro AHGtoLocal - File copy to local

Attention : This code requires administrator privileges.

The macro checks for the existence of the destination directory (and creates it if necessary via %AHGmkdir), extracts the filename, and uses the 'copy' system command (Windows syntax) via the SYSTASK instruction to perform the copy. It offers an option to open the resulting file.
