Help with save as or new using standalones

I've created some programs for students with disabilities. At first I  
circulated them with the the Mac and Pc players. It was easy to script  
a 'New' that copied the stack and cleared all text and audioClips. The  
'Save as' made a  copied of the stack. Both renamed the new stack.  
Schools with pc's need them to run from the startup menu since the  
students can't drag them onto the player. I made them standalones but  
now I don't know the proper way or logic or even an intelligent way to  
ask the question of duplicating them. The Mac version is in a package,  
the pc is in a folder with an externals folder, the slpashstack and  
the real stack. I need to keep the audio in the stacks to make it  
easier for students to transport their work from home to school and  
back. Would I use the copyFolder command and save it to the same level/ 
folder as the original? I have them on my On-Rev Server website at www.billziegler.com 
  . The two I'm having trouble with, when turned into standalones, are  
the "ReportCards MacPC" and "Just Say It".

I couldn't find anything in the archives. If there is an old post or a  
tutorial in detail I could start with that.

Thanks in advanced
