Copying and pasting a directory/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.
The capability of copying and pasting directories and programs can also be used to
exchange data with other systems via USB/network drives (e.g. USB FlashDrive).
Copied files or directories can be pasted in a different location.
Note
You can only paste directories on local drives and on USB or network drives.
Note
Write protection
If the current directory is write-protected for the user, then the function is not offered.
Note
When you copy directories, any missing endings are added automatically.
All letters (except accented characters), numbers, and underscores are permitted for name
assignment. The names are automatically converted to upper-case letters, and extra dots
are converted to underscores.
