Install Busybox and then you'll have cp and others.

Also a clarification: you shouldn't need to use both adbwireless and terminal emulator, they both do essentially the same thing: adb gives you access to the Nook shell from your PC keyboard (via the 'adb shell' command) and teminal emulator gives you access to the Nook shell using the Nook itself (unless futzing with the keyboard files made you lose all keyboard temporarily? -- in which case you'd need just adb).

BTW, I'm sure using tools such as root explorer would help simplify this process. However having familiarity with shell commands when needed is helpful as well.
Yes to both: Root explorer is handy and shell familiarity is useful. Also, Root explorer is a paid app and the other two methods are free.
