material creation

Hi,

I want to create a material, exactly like one of my existinh material, am=nd extend it two three palnts.

What is the step by step proc?

I am trying doing it by MM01, copying from existing material, during views selestion which views do i select ?..i am selecting the views of parent material..but actually they should only get defaulted as soon as i try to copy that material.

In the same process Copy from..plat sloc.. to plant sloc comes...what to put here?

And than i want to extend that material to several plants?
