WC (in this context) means a reference to something in your working copy.
If you list 'explicit' examples (obscuring machine
address/passwords/filenames to protect privacy) AND the output generated it
will be _much_ easier to help you.
I can not spend anymore time trying to guess what you mean from paragraph
explanations and then writing answers to all possibilities.

This is almost an explicit example.
file:// is not a legal URL, and even if it were complete it would referent
something you your repository, not a working copy.
Other way, if you use the URL syntax (for that reference) it does not matter
where in your file system you are (e.g. your current directory) when you
issue it, because it EXPLICITLY references the repository. HOWEVER, if you
use any sort of WC reference, it matters: you MUST be in a WC (working copy)
and then the WC references files or directories there.
In your example, assuming c:\some_dir is the working copy, you could
cd c:
cd some_dir
svn copy trunk URL_to_commit_the_contents_to
However, since this is a WC reference any uncommitted changed currently in
trunk (this WC) will be committed to the copy.
As a learning tool, I would recommend you make a copy of your repo (or
create a test repo) and TRY the commands on that copy. You can proved to
yourself how commands will work before using them on a real, live,
repository. In this way, you can also post actual error messages for real
help (and you don't have to worry about messing up your real repository).
