HOW TO: Copy, rather than Move Calendar events?

In the case 'domove': section of calendar.php (ver 3.0.5) this bit of code is what "moves" a calendar:

PHP Code:

                $DB_site->query("
                    UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "event
                    SET calendarid = $newcalendarid
                    WHERE eventid = $eventinfo[eventid] 


Could this be modified to Copy, rather than move by SELECT all of the source event record fields and then INSERT them into a new record with the target calendar ID? I.e. "clone" the old record but change the ID# so that it will ALSO be displayed in a different calendar as a completely separate record.

I'm new to MySQL and don't quite know how to do that (and take a chance of really messing up my message base.) Can someone help. please.

I would think that there would be lots of people who would like to be able to "clone" events from one calendar to another.
