as a member function, kind of like create, that each object calls its base class
and then copies any further values (and should probably make sure its the same

or object fails to implement it properly, its would either fail or be
inconsistant, but, if implemented properly, it *should* work just
fine...</FONT></DIV>

that an object you want to copy isn't inherited several levels above the object
you're actually trying to copy.</FONT></DIV>
