Well, that would be the correct behavior except this is not a command or anything that is programmable. It would be purely in a small menu item that appears in the UI when browsing the stack using the "UP" key to go up and select items. There is no "DUP" command nor anything that directly interacts with the stack in a program.

The current behavior is when you press ENTER to make a copy, the top of the stack falls off (like any 4 level RPN machine, just with more levels).
