Expected identifier. - XP VBScript

Sub Copy(from, to)
oCMD.run "%COMSPEC% /c xcopy /y /e " &  from  & " " & to
End Sub

gives me

I'm so confused, and I can't get any other details from Windows Script Host. :(

From and To are reserved words. Choose other names.

Update (sorry):

To is a reserved word. Choose another name. My apologies to From.

Evidence:

>> Function f0(f, t) : End Function
>>
>>
>> Function f1(from, t) : End Function
>>
>>
>> Function f2(frm, to) : End Function

Error Number:       1010
Error Description:  Expected identifier

Update wrt comment:

Read this to learn why Copy("D:\", User(Scott) & "\Desktop\CD-ROM\") is wrong. Then remove the parentheses.
