    This function creates an exodus file toFileName and copies
    everything from exodus file fromFileName returning a file handle
    to toFileName.

    Additional space is allocated for additionalGlobalVariables,
    additionalNodalVariables and additionalElementVariables if
    specified.

    additionalGlobalVariables: list of global variable names to add.

    additionalNodalVaraibles: list of nodal variable names to add.

    additionalElementVariables: should be a list of element variable
    names to add to all blocks or tuples (name, blkIds) where name is
    the element variable to add and blkIds is a list of blkIds to add
    it to.
                                
    additionalElementAttributes: list of element attribute names to
    add to all blocks or tuples ( name, blkIds ) where name is the
    element attribute to add and blkIds is a list of blkIds to add it
    to.  Usage:

    fromFileName = "input.e"
    toFileName = "output.e"
    addGlobalVariables = [] ## Do not add any new global variables
    addNodeVariables = ["node_dummy1", "node_dummy2"] ## Add node_dummy1 and node_dummy2 as new node variables
    addElementVariables = [ ("elem_dummy1", [1, 2, 3]), "elem_dummy2" ] ## Add elem_dummy1 on blkIds 1, 2, 3 and elem_dummy2 on all blocks
    addElementAttributes = [ ("elem_attr_dummy1",[1,2,3]), "elem_attr_dummy2" ] ## Add elem_attr_dummy1 on blkIds 1,2,3 and elem_attr_dummy2 on all blocks

    toFileHandle = copyTranfer(fromFileName,toFileName,addGlobalVariables,addNodeVariables,addElementVariables,addElementAttributes)

    ## Fill in new variables

    toFileHandle.close()
