>>I want to make a copy of a record in a table and add it to the same table. I know that I can set carry on and just use the append command to do this but it opens the edit window. The only way to append without opening the edit window that I know of is to use append blank but then I have to use replace commands to fill the blank fields. How can I append without opening the edit window?

Better yet, use the NAME clause. Adapting the example above:
select mytable
scatter memvar memo name loRecord
loRecord.MyField1 = <some specific value>
...
append blank
* if a PK is assigned automatically (default value) when inserting a record:
loRecord.MyPK = MyPk
*
gather name loRecord
