Which one, SGML or XML?

Do I understand correctly that to clone the app, I "Edit Global
Application Definitions" then copy/paste the section of structapps.fm 
with the Application name "DocBook" from the demarking line to the 
demarking line (line across the page) and give it a new name like "TDocBook"

or is there more to it than this?
Do I also find the ..\docbook\app\ directories and copy contents to new 
directories?

As for Entity locations Public ID and Filename (local), do I rename 
these (in the cloned area) to reflect the new name and directories?

What else do I need to do?

Thanks very much,
