How to duplicate a directory in bulk in linux?

[yesonline]

Hello, I am using Linux RH8 now, and I want to copy (duplicate ) one directory named A to a new directory named A1, so I type "cp -R A A1 " and it's done, that is ok to me.
But if I want to copy A to a hundred new directories, do I have to type " cp -R A A1 " "cp -R A A2" " cp -R A A3"..... " cp -R A A200" ?
Is there any idea how can I do it once to copy and duplicate in bulk?
Some body told me using Bash Script, unfortunately I have no idea what it is, and I have to do this copy now, any idea?


Thanks in advance

You can write the script in any shell. (i.e., csh, bash, sh, ksh, perl)
