(1) CMS> COPY ELEMENT INIT.FOR INITX.FOR "experimental version"
        %CMS-S-COPIED, element DISKX:[PROJECT.CMSLIB]INIT.FOR copied
        to INITX.FOR

      This command creates a new element named INITX.FOR in the same
      library as the old element.

      This example creates a new directory for a new library,
      and then copies all of the elements from the library
      [PROJECT.CMSLIB] into the new library [RELEASE.CMSLIB].
      Because the new elements are being created in a separate
      library, CMS can create new elements with the same names as
      the old elements; thus, a null string may be entered for the
      second parameter (for the new element name). In this case,
      CMS supplies the value *.*.

      The SHOW HISTORY command that is executed after the copy
      transaction indicates that the library history contains only
      records of transactions performed on the new library (CREATE
      LIBRARY and COPY transactions). The SHOW GENERATION/DESCENDANTS
      command shows the generation history for one of the elements.
      The COPY ELEMENT transaction preserves the generation history
      for each element; thus, the record of replacement transactions
      (also the CREATE ELEMENT transaction that produced generation 1
      of the element) is maintained from the old element to the new.
