I need to script a button that will "save a copy" as opposed to "save as". bCopy seems a likely option but, I don't know the syntax. Any advise would be very helpful.

You need to provide more information. By copy, do you mean saving the file with a different file name? If so, how is the new file name determined? Do you want it saved to a new folder? If so, how is the new folder determined?

The name should be the same but saved to the user's local folder of their choice. This file will be on a web site as a package of a hundred files. The "save as" option does not permit individual files to be saved and will save the entire package. I created a button with this action by choosing "save a copy" but for some reason, it automatically goes to "save the package". "Save a Copy" from the menu works easily enough but our teachers will find it less confusing to simply use a button. As you may guess, I am not an experienced programmer! Thanks.
