Newbie: copy, assignment of class instances

[Larry Luther]

Ok, Ok,
  I'm a newbie to D, not to programming.  The first computer I got to 
program was a Digital PDP-8L.
  I'm learning D.
  I'm learning how to use SlickEdit as an IDE for D.
     I've never used it to compile, debug, and execute before.
     Therefore it will take a while before I can figure out where to add -w
       (Yes I like to turn on all warnings too).
  I'm relearning OutlookExpress for reading news.  I wanted a fixed width 
font
    and couldn't configure OutlookExpress intuitively.  The IT guy said use 
HTML
    and that worked, but you don't like it, so I've gotten heavy handed with 
OutlookExpress
    and it looks like I have it.  I don't have any option for using spaces 
for indentation,
    (my preference too).  The OutlookExpress editor must be replacing my 
spaces with tabs.
  The Association of Computing Machinery did a study of indentation a long 
time ago
    and found that indentations of 2 or 3 were best.  I picked 2.

| You are a newbie, so let me point the little flaws in your D code, this is 
the D style guide:
| http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/dstyle.html
|
| Regarding white space it says:
|    * Use spaces instead of hardware tabs.
|    * Each indentation level will be four columns.
