You would use the electron's "copy" tile to duplicate it and the world's "include" tile to place it in the world, like so:

	world include electron's copy

(this actually produces a sibling, but it wouldn't matter either way)

Btw, since this is an Etoys-specific question, you may find this to be a better place to ask this kind of questions:
