name  
CopyCommand:
syntax
CopyCommand newName ← oldName
If newName is not a full path name, then CopyCommand will register it in the current working directory.  CopyCommand uses CommandTool.LookupWithSearchRules to find the commandProc corresponding to oldName.
 
 
description
Attach a new name to an existing command without deleting the old name.  This command merely makes a new entry in the Commander registry with the new name and the old CommandProc.
 
examples
% CopyCommand Acme ← Date
% Acme
  November 1, 1983 5:39 pm
% Date
  November 1, 1983 5:39 pm
% 
 
warnings
At this writing, both oldName and newName must be exact, the working directory and lookup stuff is not implemented.
 
stop/undo 
Probably too fast to stop.
 
implementation 
InitialCommandsImpl.mesa in CommandTool.df
