Duplicating Items In Illustrator 10 (OS X)

Hi,

I wonder if anyone can help me with an embarassingly simple problem?
I'm trying to DUPLICATE an object, a certain distance horizontally in
Illustrator. ie. I have one path item which I want to duplicate to
leave me with two path items, a certain distance apart.

The following script will happily *move* the item, but not duplicate.

tell application "Adobe Illustrator 10"
tell front document
tell layer 1
translate path item 1 delta x 100
end tell
end tell
end tell

Am I missing a simple trick or am I going to have to read in the
various properties of the original and create a new path item? Surely
its not that messy?

Any help / tips much appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Rob
