Thanks.  Yes, I read it.  That was what I meant in my last posting
by the Lisp variable that changes the behavior of cp.  According
to the Emacs Wiki, the following setting

  (setq eshell-cp-interactive-query t)

should work.  (I haven't tested it.)  Probably I'll switch to
this solution soon, but I'm now looking for the ways to store
this kind of Lisp expressions.  I can write them in ~/.emacs ,
but I don't want to clutter it too much.  I imagine that
~/.eshell/startup.el, ~/.emacs-eshell.el, or some such file
is read when eshell starts up.  I'm reading the Wiki and other
documentations, trying to find it.
