How do I copy a parameter between methods?

I know it's possible because I've seen it in some example worlds, but when I try to drag a parameter to the clipboard Alice won't let me drag it back out. The textbook wasn't much help, and it's probably the only thing I need to be able to do at this point that wasn't gone over in class.

Once I've got this figured out I know how I'm going to complete my assignment -- it's the last problem I need to solve program-wise. But as the assignment is due on Friday I'd appreciate a quick response.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by copying a parameter between methods. Could you clarify?

Perhaps you should make a world variable and have a method with a parameter that sets the variable to said parameter. Then use the variable in your other methods. Does that answer the question?

I just mean using the same parameter in multiple methods.
I have a feeling that I'm missing something really simple.
