If your message subject is any indication, it looks as if your problem is
not with the replacing parameter, but with the command: if this is in the
Finder (or any other app), you should be using 'duplicate' in the Standard
Suite, not 'copy'. 'copy' is an AppleScript term for setting variables, not
a Finder command for making duplicates of folders, files and other Finder
items.
You should consult the Finder - or other relevant - AppleScript dictionary
to discover what commands to use. Many of the standard commands like
'duplicate' are in the Standard Suite and will be the same for most
applications. Others will be application-specific.
Whenever you write to the mailing list for help, you should include the
EXACT code you're using, including the tell block. We shouldn't have try to
guess what application you're using, or perhaps you're not using an
application at all, nor the commands you're calling. It's much easier to
help if we can see the actual code - sometimes the problem is trivial, like
a misspelled term or variable, which we can never know unless we see exactly
what you wrote.
