Question about Pasting or copying cds from one stack to another

[Joe Lewis Wilkins]

Thanks for the thought Bob. I'm such a Mac person that I neglected to think of that; also, as part of that myopia I dislike having the menus on the Window's real-estate. Apple got it right. M$ did not. IMHO!

In MC/Rev/LC, menus are implemented as a group of buttons, and as such, that group is on a card being copied, whence it, the group, is copied with the card. This is what Jacque meant. It may be confusing, particularly if the destination stack has its own menu group, but it is expected behavior.
