Hey Mark,
You can easily copy a group of keys using the file insert. One easy way to do
this is to save a track file (simply a 3DS file consisting of your object
keyframed only over the range of keys you want to copy). Then with the frame
counter on the frame you want to copy those keys to, choose Object/Track/File
Insert, pick the object, then pick the track file.
You might want to experiment a little with a simple object first to understand
how it works with the various options. (Also, things can get interesting when
you have certain rotation keys, etc.) I just made a ten-key track file and
inserted it six times. It took longer to type this than it did to do the
keyframing and file inserts.
