Copy objects from one experiment to another?

[Paul R. Jackson]

This feature is supposedly coming in E-Prime v2, whenever that is. 

You can copy and paste some objects between experiments now in V1. Its just
very convoluted:
	Step 1: Open windows explorer in a directory where you can see 2
experiments (*.es).
	Step 2: Hold down the CTRL key to select both experiments.
	Step 3: Right Click on one of them and select open.
	Step 4: You should now have 2 E-Prime windows, one for each
experiment. Select an object to copy (eg: open a procedure and select a text
display)
	Step 5: Drag the object down to the windows taskbar and onto the
'other' experiment. This should open maximise that experiment after a second
or so delay.
	Step 6: Continue to drag the object to a procedure in the new
experiment.
	Step 7: ...and there was much rejoicing.
