Rev 3.0 Cloning problem

Hi John,

The correct procedure is:

clone stack "resouce_template"
put it into myTempStackID
-- do other stuff here
set the name of myTempStackID to myStackName

You don't need the keyword "stack" before the variable containing the  
long ID of the new stack.

Best regards,
