Well, actually, you shouldn't do that. Unless the author of the level
specifically allows that. LEC sure as hell doesn't, so you can't copy stuff
from original levels.

Actually, it isn't that hard. But it requires some other things done
before that, like multiselection. I won't allow loading several levels at
once, but you can easily get around it by running several copies of JED.
Copy/paste will not be in the very next version, but it's on the todo list
and has a good chance to squeeze in the one after that. Or the one after
that, because I'll probably release one shortly after the next to add MOTS
support.
