Hi Viewbyte, yes that's correct, those distance and angle fields you were using activate "distance constraint" and "angle constraint" which will alter the behavior of the next point pick using the mouse.
If you want to enter in a distance/angle value to be taken immediately, that is possible by using polar coordinate format in the x/y/z input control.
To do that, on the "Pick target point" step of the copy command, type in (no need to click, if you type numbers they will go into the x/y/z control automatically) your distance value followed by the < symbol followed by the angle and then push Enter.
So for example if you want it a distance of 5 units and an angle of 45 degrees from the base point, type in:
5<45 [enter]
The different kinds of point inputs you can use are listed here:

Almost - the right click to end the command isn't to confirm the target point, it's to end the command because the Transform > Copy command will allow you to click multiple target points to make a copy at each one. So you right-click or push "Done" to signal that you don't want to make any more copies.
