Best way to copy design/programming?

I'm interested in using some of the stuff from the User's Group disk in my own applications.  Can someone tell me what is the most expedient way to copy design and programming data from those existing databases into my own burgeoning ones?  Can two instances of SDesigner be started in separate windows, and cut&paste be used?

I find the easiest method to do what you describe is to annotate the code with good notes in the application you are going to copy from then export the programming and open the text file and cut and paste from there.  The steps are:

While in program editor click File
Click Export all to text file and press enter
Enter a file name
Then open txt file with any app you are comfortable with.

Hello Scott,

You can have two designer windows open right next to each other on the same computer as long as they do not have the same DSR file open and copy and paste programming in between them.
