Duplicating in System Events

Hi all,

I was meddling with the System Events dictionary and encountered a neat
variation of the Finder's duplicate command:
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?)

Thanks,
Hanaan
