        You should declare the window as a class and then create
multiple instances of it -
        
        
        <class name="TyWindowClass" x="50" y="50"
width="${imageLoad.width+imageLoad.width*0.20}"  ...> 
            <menubar name="mbar"  placement="menubar"> 
                   <menu name="file" id="mfile"  width="80">File 
                              <menuitem  text="Spawn"/> 
                              <menuitem  text="Store"/> 
                             . . .
        </class>
        
        
        <TyWindow id="w1"/>
        <TyWindow id="other1" />
        
        
        This isn't "cloning" but may be what you're looking for.

        hi, 
        Is there a way to clone an existing window instance? I  tried a
"new window(canvas, idofwindowtoclone)" but it resulted in a window with
just the same title. 
        Ideally if I have this: 
            
          <window id="w1" x="50" y="50"
width="${imageLoad.width+imageLoad.width*0.20}"
height="${imageLoad.width+imageLoad.width*0.20}" title="Log in data"
resizable="true" closeable="true" layout="axis:x; spacing:20;
inset:20"> 
            
            <menubar name="mbar"  placement="menubar"> 
                   <menu name="file" id="mfile"  width="80">File 
                              <menuitem  text="Spawn"/> 
                              <menuitem  text="Store"/> 
                              <menuitem  text="Remove"/> 
                              <menuseparator/> 
                              <menuitem id="MWS"  text="Send"> 
                                  <menu  name="subedit">subedit 
                                      <menuitem  text="Email"/> 
                                      <menuitem  text="Print"/> 
                                  </menu> 
                              </menuitem> 
                          </menu> 
                         .........</window> 
          
        I would like the same window but with a different  id: 
          
            <window id="clonew1" x="50"  y="50"
width="${imageLoad.width+imageLoad.width*0.20}"
height="${imageLoad.width+imageLoad.width*0.20}" title="Log in data"
resizable="true" closeable="true" layout="axis:x; spacing:20;
inset:20"> 
            
            <menubar name="mbar"  placement="menubar"> 
                   <menu name="file" id="mfile"  width="80">File 
                              <menuitem  text="Spawn"/> 
                              <menuitem  text="Store"/> 
                              <menuitem  text="Remove"/> 
                              <menuseparator/> 
                              <menuitem id="MWS"  text="Send"> 
                                  <menu  name="subedit">subedit 
                                      <menuitem  text="Email"/> 
                                      <menuitem  text="Print"/> 
                                  </menu> 
                              </menuitem> 
                          </menu>                  .........</window>
