Copy objects from one experiment to another?

[Leisha Wharfield]

Okay, this is terrific. The funniest thing happened when I tried this 
method. Copying an intro screen from a procedure in one file to a 
procedure in another file, on pasting I got a SKULL & CROSSBONES with 
bright RED EYES and where the name of the object should have been it 
just said "Missing." What a kick! You've got to love those programmers, 
right? Whoever is monitoring this maillist from E-Prime can pat that 
clown on the back for me. He made my day. No pirating of objects is 
allowed, argh!

With my heart full of hope, I tried copying from the Browser window of 
one experiment and pasting into the Browser window of the other. And 
there was much bliss & rejoicing.

Thanks,

Leisha
