confirm the copy to thing

When working with Tony I did pull all the code onto my system and try it
under 5.0.13 and it did work fine. On his, it certainly does not... I would
guess this is in the bug fix info in the readme's somewhere between 4.8.10
and 5.0+.
His copy aaa to bbb routine was inside a getnext loop and it did not work...
the real kicker was that in the debugger, it _appeared_ to have worked... in
other words bbb(x) on every field had been changed to the new value.
However, when the process was done, going out to the file showed that it was
actually not left that way... and yes, there was a WRITE bbb after the copy
aaa to bbb function.
Oh well, another good reason to the stay with the latest and greatest
proponents (of which I am a huge supporter). I would have lost money on this
one because the fact that the debugger even showed it _being_ done made me
believe it actually was.
Incidentally, on the other hand... just to be fair and balanced like Fox
News _always_ is. :-) What if you were on 4.9 and just bought 4.10 you
would expect it to be the latest and greatest. :-)
