Research direction

Locate the implementation of the saveubas command and the existing ubcalc copy or naming behavior. Check how commands receive one or two arguments, then make copyub support copying the loaded calculation or another calculation by two names, or by number and name; done means the confusing command is replaced and each stated argument form works.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Changes to the loaded ub calculation are saved automatically. The saveubas command is therefor confusing. copyub with one arg would copy the currently load ubcalc, and with two names, or a number and a name, would copy another one.
