Drag and drop

You are allowed to drag and drop a marked block to another text position or to another editor window. To drag and drop, use the right mouse button. The default function is moving the block within a window and copying between two windows. Pressing CTRL while dropping will copy the block and SHIFT will move a block.

Macintosh only: With a Macintosh one-button-mouse you have to simulate pressing the right mouse button by pressing Ctrl. Press the apple key for copying instead of moving the block.

OS/2 only: You are also allowed to drag text file icons to a specific position of the text area. This will read the file. If you press SHIFT while dragging, the name of the file without directories is copied instead of the file content. Pressing CTRL-SHIFT copies the whole filename with directory names. Reverse, you are allowed to drop marked text to a desktop folder. You will automatically get a filename, based on the beginning text of the marked block. (I'm sorry, but Windows does not offer such a functionality.)
