select the copy and then the original and then go to 'deform/ blendshape' and watch for the result in the commnd line, 'blendshape 1' go to the 'windows' and animation editors/ 'blend shape.' and up pops the blend shape editor and when you push and pull at the lever the original curve changes, now yo can delete the copy.
