  Hi Bat,
BL>                                                   So far I have two new
BL> icons on my desktop, "DTClip" and "DRG-TXT". I tried dragging that URL,
BL> to the former, but it didn't wind up in the clipboard,
  You don't need to fuss with either.  DTClip is a clipboard like object that
has some great new properties.  If you drag from close to text on a nodal
window - such as the saving location from NS, it will pick up that text and
the
mouse pointer should change to show that has the text is in tow.  Just
dropping
the text on the window information bar - that coloured bar at the top of your
application window, should move the text in tow to the DTClip which will pop
up
to display what has been captured.  The great thing is that you can continue
to
D&D and the DTClip will save all these efforts until its time to import that
into an editor for further text formatting.
  Bat, do yourself a favour and read the read-me.  I find a "new" feature in
3.1 is Pickup and Drop - just *GREAT*!
Alt-MB2  (selected text)
- - - - -
Ctrl-Alt-MB2  (all text)
- - - - -
p.s. this is the output dragged off the DragText properties window and dropped
on the coloured window title bar!
BL>                               and "DRG-TXT". I tried dragging that URL,
  You should have the executable (DragText v3.1) DRGTXT31.EXE on your desktop,
and that needs to have been setup and then run - i.e. it has to be memory
resident for these functions to occur.  I have mine in my startup folder to
start at run boottime.  If it is running and you DLMB on the object, the
properties will open for you to change any of the ways it works.  Hope this
helps!
