I'd like to delete some items during a calculation on a list. But, I want 
it intact after all the calculation.
So, I thought I save it to a temporary list and put it back when done.

tempList = initialList
...
all the deleteAt on initialList
...
initialList = tempList -- to get it back so I thought

But, to my surprise when I delete items from initialList, tempList get the 
items deleted too. I can put the initial list content to a field and 
extract them later after calculation. Is there a better way to deal with this?

Thanks for the help,
