Have Poser 8 and following the directions from the Help manual to save a pose does not work.

I go to the Pose section, select my character, click on the + sign to add to library and it puts a pz2 file in the library. And when I try to apply that to my character it wants to replace the whole scene with it. Obviously I'm doing something wrong.

Could somebody tell me how to save a pose from one character that I can then apply to another character?
