[amibroker] Layouts

I'm having some frustrating issues with layouts. Perhaps someone would 
be kind enough to enlighten me?

Here's the requirement:
I have a layout in Database A. The layout has just one template/window 
with independant indicators on several screens (all are inserted as 
"linked"). I want to use that template in Database B.

Here's what I'm doing:
1) After creating the layout in Database A, I save it as a global layout
2) I switch to Database B and open the global layout. So far so good.
3) I save this layout under a *new name*.
3) I change the parameters of one indicator in the layout in Database B.
4) I switch back to Database A and ?!?!**?!....the parameter setting of 
the same screen in database A has changed as well!!
5) I change the parameter in Database A back to what it was before, I 
switch back to Database B and the parameter has "followed" me again!

I don't want this to happen! ...I want the basic layouts/templates to be 
the same across databases. I also want the indicators themselves to be 
linked (i.e. if I edit the formula of one I want it to change all 
instances of that indicator in all layouts). But I don't want the actual 
parameters to be linked across databases. It's bad enough that I can't 
make the parameters unique to each symbol in a database...but it seems 
the only way I can make them unique to each database is to re-create 
each layout in each database from scratch. Which is hardly the point of 
saving the layouts.

I'm sure I'm doing something wrong...Can anyone help please?

TIA
Andy
