I realize that you must change the event code in order to save an old event
as a new one.  This is different from ECS 3.4. ECS 4.0 reports "NO CHANGES
HAVE BEEN MADE"
if you just change Modify Event to Create Event and give the old event name
a new name.

Sounds good only drawback would be writting events quick and easy "glance"
debugging.
This is probably something that I was just comfortable with under ECS 3.4
