Yes, it is more readable.

Using DOSPATH for this is ugly, IMHO.  It continues inflation of that
macro to mean yet one more thing.  Whether to 'cp' or not 'cp' has
not much to do with the form of filenames...

Btw, can/should this text now be changed?  In userdefs.h:

**  Currently, if compiled with -DUSE_ZLIB and without -DDIRED_SUPPORT
**  (default), the following from the list below are required:
**  COPY_PATH (cp.exe) - needed for file downloading
**  MV_PATH   (mv.exe) - for bookmark handling (DEL_BOOKMARK command)
    ....
