Q: | I don't understand how to copy a symbol (TI-Basic variable) from one folder to another. As I can see, SymCpy doesn't copy the entire symbol, just the name!?
A: | Moving symbols is quite easy (using SymMove), but copying is not so straightforward. Principally, you need to create a new one, and to copy the content of the original one into a new one. Fortunately, it is possible to use cmd_copyvar from bascmd.h. As it is TI-Basic call, it is highly recommended to execute it under a TRY...ONERR...ENDTRY block.
