Let me see if can clear this all up...
As of System 7 Pro, the Finder includes a number of undocumented "features"
that the developers were able to sneak in. HOWEVER, in order to keep them
secret, you need an extension which will enable the features. The most
notable of the features is "control dragging alias creation" - in other
words hold down the control key and drag a file to another folder...instead
of copying it, it will create an alias!
I have enclosed an extension that I wrote (called Alias Dragger, oddly
enough) that will enable the feature. This is "if it works, great - if
not, bummer!" ware... and has NOTHING to do with my employer, so leave them
alone.
