Can a screen be copied in NetExpress to create a new screen?

I want to create a new screen in NetExpress, but I have one that is very similar and I really want to avoid starting from scratch.

Is there a way to copy this screen and reuse most of it?  In the past, I have tried copying and renaming the gs file, but I could never get rid of some of the 'old' info.  For example, version number.

You can try exporting the screenset to a text file using the Dialog System Export command from the File menu.

Then you can modify the text file, and then import it into a new screenset using the Dialog System Import command.

Thanks.

Never mind, I believe I've figured it out....
