The submenus attached to an item are not kept if you do a copy, or if you do a 
drag and drop between different applications. 

If you press the Alt key while dropping over an item , the operation will be a 
copy to the submenu of this item. If it had no submenu, one will be created. 

A frame is drawn around the destination item. 

On an horizontal or matrix ucmenu, the dropped item can go either to the left 
or to the right of the destination item, depending on the drop zone. 

On a vertical ucmenu, it goes to the top or to the bottom of the destination 

You can drop on the part of the UCMenu where there are no items, the dropped 
item will be added at the end. 

An item can be rendered as a bitmap file. 

If its bitmap comes from a file and not from the application, an item can be 
dropped for example on iconedit to edit its bitmap. 

If a bitmap file is dropped, a new item using this bitmap is created. 

An item can also be dropped on the shredder to be deleted. 

Fonts and colors can be dragged and dropped from the system palettes to change
