Files and directories will automatically move if they are being
dragged from one window to another window that represents a folder on
the same volume and will be copied if the volumes differ.  There is
currently no way to override that, a feature that we should add soon.

There is no way to select multiple files, although some of that
functionality has already been built into Browser.  However, HFS_XFer
can't do it either.

It's not clear what functionality we'll add before we release 2.0.
When 2.0 is released we'll make the source to Browser freely
available, so futher customization can be done outside of ARDI.
