Question about Pasting or copying cds from one stack to another

[Joe Lewis Wilkins]

Hi John,

Just thought you'd like to know, that I finally got a handle on this problem. Fairly easy once I realized that this is an issue that must be addressed. LiveCode doesn't handle such things automatically, but I think it could; and, maybe, should.

Thanks,

Joe Wilkins

The menus are very similar, yet different. Is there a way to prevent this from happening? I would like the new card to use the same menus as the ones existing in the target stack. I'm performing the copying via a script.
