Can I use this module to essentially pre-populate fields from one content-type to another, and still keep the original node?

Description
I have content-types A and B. Content-type B uses many of the same fields as A, which will have the exact same values, but also has additional fields that are not found in A. Can I use your module as a means of pre-populating B's fields with A's values? Will content-type A remain after the conversion?
If this doesn't work, I'm thinking the way to go might be to clone A, then convert either A or its clone to content-type B.
Thanks, and if you can think of anything more efficient, I'd be greatly appreciative, as I am a newbie!

I think cloning the node, and then converting it to the needed content-type will work. You will have to use the API provided by clone node module and the API in node_convert. So basically you'll have to write some sort of script or module that utilizes the both.
