The intent of this feature was not to have the same form in a project 
twice. Rather it is to assist the creation of new forms that are similar 
to an existing form. A perfect example of where this comes in handy 
would be the FTextEditor and the FEditor forms. FEditor has everything 
from FTextEditor plus more so FTextEditor could have been written then 
copied to FEditor for further modification. I know now that this can be 
accomplished via the "new form" dialog. I'll pass this information on to 
Richard (he's the one who requested the feature). I still think that 
implementing this via the popup menu is more intuitive but it's okay if 
you feel differently.
