You can tell what a function does by looking at its help page, eg: ?duplicate
There is no such function in R (1.9.0), so I don't see how you came across that function name. R performs a deep copy "on demand", and generally you should not worry about this, just use the assignment operator "<-". PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and the "Introduction to R", and the FAQ.
