There have been several Drag&Drop implementations _within_ one application
done for Tk in its various forms. There is also a 'send' based one in 
Tcl extension BLT which can handle drag & drop between two BLT-based apps.
Tix has some drag&drop stuff but I have not got to that bit yet.
Looks like it is inside the app...
What I want to implement is something that will inter-operate with apps
written other ways - mainly motif and/or CDE. Still hunting for spec's
of protocol.
