Programmer Window, View Levels with SHIFT + MAKE HARD. All attributes of the currently selected heads that are active in
the programmer are made hard (non palette) values. If no heads are selected then all heads in the programmer are affected.

12.12 Copy between heads
You can copy between heads using the keypad. To copy the head data, select some heads from the keypad, press COPY and then
enter the destination heads. For example, to copy from heads 1 to 2 to heads 5 to 8
1 THRU 2 COPY 5 THRU 8 ENTER
MagicQ also supports the @ Syntax.
COPY 1 THRU 2 @ 5 THRU 8 ENTER
It is not necessary to have the same number of source heads as destination heads. Each of the source heads is used in turn to copy
data to the destination heads.
If the source head is using a palette for an attribute then the destination head automatically also uses the palette - but uses its
value from the palette, not the value from the source head.
