what does "clone" do?

[Shao Sean]

where are you typing that?

in a script, just do something like this:
on cloneMyButton
  clone button "myButton" of cd "myCard" of stack "myStack"
end cloneMyButton
(if this script is running from the same card where the button is located,
you don't need the cd and stack part)

if you're running the code from the message box, you'll need to type in the
full thing:
clone button "myButton" of cd "myCard" of stack "myStack"
