[amibroker] Re: once again, how do I duplicate an entire pane of formulas

   I would hope there is currently some 'hack' that would allow this,
even though it does not seem to be built it.

   Lets say I duplicate a database, and want to independently modify
the underlying AFL in the panes.  I don't want Database B mods to
alter Database A structures, which is what will happen as it is now.

   Must be some way to 'unlink' the structure and let it stand alone,
under a different name.
