It's hard to say whether it's there or not! It's listed there as "(NOT
AVAILABLE YET)". So it wouldn't even copy to clipboard. It will compile and
then error.
It certainly seems crazy that the Finder AS team would create these
name-space conflicts with the AppleScript language: copy, file. In the case
of 'copy' especially because they took over 'set the clipboard' into
Standard Additions around the same time as they made the Finder scriptable
(well, OK, a little later). What did they even need 'copy' for?
