Copy card produces same ID

This seems like a bug but...If I use:
copy this card to this stack -- (I think that's what I used)
I get a duplicate card (which is what I want) but the ID of the card is
the same as the original card. This seems like a bad thing (and a bug).
Shouldn't ID's be unique? Should I be using something like:
copy this card to this stack with unique ID --(?)
Alternatively (assuming I should always have unique IDs for my cards
because to have things otherwise isn't kosher), can I script the
process of:
1. Select the pointer tool.
2. "Select All" from the Edit menu.
3. "New Card" from the Object menu.
4. "Paste" from the Edit menu.
Appreciate any assistance. Thanks.
Barry
