I have run into a limitation in my knowledge of OOP.
If I write Object1 = Object2, why doesn't Object1 get it's
own block of memory to play with? Instead, they both
share the same memory as you can see if you run this
code below:

here! 

Strict
Type testType
	Field a:Int
	Method update()
		a:+1
	EndMethod
EndType

Local test1: testType = New testType
Local test2: testtype = test1

For Local b = 1 To 5
	test1.update
	test2.update
Next

Print test1.a
Print test2.a


How do I copy an object along with all of it's field
values so that it is a separate entity from it's parent?
