I was hoping to see how the Dictionary describes that, but the 
Dictionary entry for "save" doesn't seem to mention a "copy" option at all.

The syntax guide for "save" is:

   save stack [as filePath] [with format stackFormat |
      with newest format]

It does include this:

   Use the save command to save changes to a stack
   or to save a copy of a stack into another file.

...but it doesn't seem to offer any guidance on the syntax for copying.

Did I miss something?

When was "copy" introduced?
