environment copy strangeness in pier on seaside 3.0rc one-click install

LawsonEnglish
  I was trying to make a copy of my enviornment template in Pier using
the seaside 3.0rc oneclick available from squeak.org


The steps I took:

login.
click on +system
click on _environment

select the copy command and name it environmentcopy
save

create a new page.

click settings.
Point the environment to /system/templates/environmentcopy

(have to manually enter that since "choose" doesn't work as I expected)

save


start editing /system/templates/environmentcopy.

it saves the changes in the original environment page.


Is this normal behavior? I thought copy meant copy contents, not just
create a new link to the same file.

  OK, so I see partly where my error is. I originally changed the Menu
component which is referred to in both the environment file and the
environmentcopy file.

I created a menucopy file and changed THAT, but can't figure out how to
make environmentcopy refer to it instead of the original menu component.
IOW, I want enviornmentcopy to use menucopy instead of menu...

Thanks in advance.
