I need to add an important caution in case you may want to copy a card-case 
node or tree to some other location, such as a different outline.  **MAKE 
SURE* that you paste them *AS A CLONE*.*  When you use an ordinary paste, 
the new nodes are given new gnx values - those crucial node ids.  Since the 
navigation system *depends* on the gnxs being correct, an ordinary paste 
will ruin the navigation and backlinks.

It would not be hard to write a script to correct the ids, but then if you 
moved the subtree back into the original, the links to the original would 
never work.

You might want to duplicate a tree when sending it to someone else, 
possibly as an example.

In Leo, it is usually suggested that you never clone nodes into other 
outlines.  This is a rare case where it is *ESSENTIAL* to do so.
