I was meddling with the System Events dictionary and encountered a neat

duplicate: Copy object(s) and put the copies at a new location.
duplicate [reference] -- the object for the command
to location reference -- The location for the new object(s).
[with properties record] -- Properties to be set in the new
duplicated object(s).
I like the ability to set the properties of the duplicated file (such
as name), but I don't like the fact that... it doesn't seem to work.
Does anyone knows if this feature works at all? (Chris?)
Nope. You're seeing the default version from the Standard Suite, but
disk-folder-file objects don't pay any attention to it. There's a bug
filed.
