Can you cut and paste the objects manually from within the ZMI?

'OFS.SimpleItem.Item', I get cut&paste support.

What you get is inheritance of the "CopySource" object, and the
manage_afterClone() functions that get called when you copy and paste. Have
you inherited from any other objects?

You have the copy/paste support in OFS.CopySupport, both the basic
"CopySource" and the "CopyContainer". These together does most of the work.
It's basically a question of doing a _delObject() and a _setObject() with
some checks around it.
