6.2.7 Copying/renaming a directory or program
To create a new directory or program that is similar to an existing
program, you can save time by copying the old directory or program
and only changing selected programs or program blocks.
You can also use the copy and insert capabilities for directories and
programs to exchange data with other ShopMill systems via diskette
or the network drive.
You can also rename directories or programs.
It is not possible to rename a program when it is loaded in "Machine
Auto" mode at the same time.
