The copy-list command copies a saved list to either a new item-ID, a new file reference, or to the specified output device.
A file reference may be specified because any file can hold lists. Conversely, the copy command may also be used, but it does not default to the pointer-file.
copy-list {{file.reference} {itemlist*} {(options}
to: {(file.reference} {itemlist}
