- According to 'rumors', in release 3.0 one can command-drag files onto
- app icons. This would be quite handy for the purpose you mention. For
- 2.1, the same functionality is provided by Engage, a *very* nice
- program. I use the drag-n-drop feature all the time to get Edit or Emacs
- to open up other apps' files.
