o This month's DooDad - DragText
(Carried over from last month because we ran out of time)
DragText's Basic (free) features add drag and drop text to windows.
Its Extended (shareware) features transform text into an object you
can exchange between windows, files, the clipboard, and other objects
- without ever thinking about a file name.
