Lha.run problems

I have the following problem: I have Winuae 1.5.1 installed with workbench 3.1. Two hard disks DH0 and DH1. When I select system and shell I get the dos prompt.

I typed programs:lha.run Ram and got the following:\
Extracting lhA.guide
Extracting lha_68020
Extracting lha_68040
Extracting lha_68k
Extracting lha_68k.readme
Operation susccessful

Then when I type in Copy Ram:lha_68020 C:lha
Iget the following
Can't open lha_68020 for input - object not found

When I type in lha x programs:installer-43_3.lha programs:
I get lha - unknown command

Can anyone explain how to get passed this?

are you sure lha was extracted to ram: ?
dir ram:

if 0: check 'dir name' where you extracted lha executables, they should be there, together with the other programs in that dir
if 1: it's probably a problem of attributes. if you have dopus (aminet) check if the executable flag is 1. if you dont have dopus etc, there's a dos command named 'protect' that does the same.

try type lha.run (only)

This cannot be exactly what you typed because what you are telling the program to do is extract a file called Ram from lha.run into your current directory. On the Amiga the presence of a colon at the end of a device name (i.e. RAM: DF0: HD0: ) is essential however the capitalization is not significant.

Try this sequence of shell commands as an alternative to Steps 4a and 4b in the guide:

cd programs:
lha.run
copy lha_68020 c:lha
delete lha_#? lha.guide

I typed programs:lha.run Ram and got the following:\

Problem solved.
Try

programs:lha.run RAM:

You seem to have missed the colon after RAM:. This tells the Amiga that it must not write it to a file but to a device.
What you did is write ALL files in the archive to one and the same "Ram" file in a sequence, this means it has been n-times overwritten during the process, with n being the number of files inside the archive.
