Robert-

this is exactly how loop copy works. It effectively multiplies your loop
into the new loop where you are copying it. This is really useful and
efficient to use, because in real time you can add new material onto the
loop and let it multiply out to longer lengths while it is copying. You
don't have to wait for the loop copy to finish and then do these things. To
end loop copy you press Multiply, which should hopefully confirm in your
mind that what you are really doing is just the multiply function. When you
realize this it should be very intuitive to use, because loop copy builds
upon multiply which you probably already know how to use. (time copy is
similar, except it is based on Insert.)

this is actually explained in the manual, as well as on the web site. I
think it is in the info about the LoopIIIv5.0 software as well. Even in
your old software you had this function, but it was then only possible when
using the quantized loop switching. If you look under the "SwitchQuant"
section of the manual, you will see the explanation for how to do loop
copies in that mode. It is the same as using the loopcopy parameter with
the newer software.
