 Yes, press F1 and read:

    Two examples:

    If the source mask is "*.tar.gz", the destination is
    "/bla/*.tgz" and the file to be copied is "foo.tar.gz",
    the copy will be "foo.tgz" in "/bla".

    Let's suppose you want to swap basename and extension so
    that "file.c" will become "c.file" and so on. The source
    mask for this is "*.*" and the destination is "\2.\1".
