Is there an easy way to script cloning a folder within the same enclosing
folder but giving it a new name? I want this to work cross platform. Any
help with the following general purpose handler?

command rev_CopyAndRename originalFolder, newFolder
    -- work in progress
    set the itemdelimiter to "/"
    put newFolder into enclosingFolder
    delete item -1 of enclosingFolder
    revCopyFolder originalFolder, enclosingFolder
    -- put it / the result into copiedFolder
    rename folder copiedFolder to newFolder
end rev_CopyAndRename

I think I'd name the new folder something arbitrary, like "temp", and after the copy is done, use the "rename folder" command to set the permanent name of the folder.
