Application Browser problem?

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Kurt,

I haven't used the Applicatiom Browser in years. I found it unreliable  
and decided to forget about it.

Whenever I want to copy a card to another stack, I type in the message  
box:

   copy this cd to stack "My Stack"

There is a request in the QCC to include "Copy Card" and "Past Card"  
in the Edit menu, but this request has been ignored so far. You can  
find the request at <http://quality.runrev.com/qacenter/show_bug.cgi?id=967 
 >.
